ABSTRACT

Higher Education plays a significant role in nation building, so our government has taken initiatives to achieve Indian Higher Education in World Class Level. The eleventh as well as the twelfth educational plan have continued to lay emphasis on improving access, equity and excellence. In the current higher education curriculum does not impart the necessary skills that would make the students employable adequately. There is lack of interdisciplinary approach as well as a very little scope for value based courses to be taught. In addition, the evaluation methods are largely based on memory recall processes and the students do not learn to think and analyze on their own. Choice based credit system shifts the focus from the teacher-centric to student-centric education. Students may undertake as many credits as they can cope with.
