Indian academia is in a crisis! Due to deplorable academic practices such as grade augmentation, coursework depreciation, allowing student enrolments without the required pre-requisites especially for commerce and MBA programs. Internal assessments are not industry suited and easily achievable. Academics are seen as costs but are retained based on preposterous, outrageous parameters such as: faculty feedback forms, involvement in extra curriculum activities, giving high proximity to social interaction and appeasement of senior management even though their academic output is notorious, as compromising on personal ethos and morality is acceptable and lastly (if it makes little difference) contribution towards research. Academics are treated as outcasts during admission process as it’s only the number that matter to the management. The admissions department is simply prostitionalising the whole process without concern for quality and capability. Online student faculty feedbacks are just a farce and are used by management to audit an academician’s performance, providing undue pressure on academics to pass undeserving students or face termination. Academics have a daunting task to improve the quality of teaching, besides been forced to adopt unethical practices yet tirelessly endeavoring to compel students to learn.
