Paradigm shift in education policies in 2010, says Sibal: Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal Monday announced that there would be a vast change in education policy making of the government in 2010.....Read Full

New Delhi: State universities are making money by giving affiliation to innumerable colleges, said Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal Monday, adding that such varsities need to set up a separate panel to conduct examinations.

“They are giving affiliation and making money by just conducting examinations for them,” Sibal said after launching a book on engineering education at the Observer Research Foundation here.

“The conduct of the examination puts a huge burden and as a result, they fail to concentrate on actual things they are supposed to do,” he said, urging the universities to undertake more research.

“State universities should stop giving affiliations to colleges. Instead, they must focus on research and other academics that they are not doing properly these days,” the minister observed.

However, the minister said regulating the state universities is the job of state governments and the central government cannot interfere directly here.

Sibal later told reporters that there can be a separate panel to carry out exams of these institutes. A part of the money could go to universities which will offer degrees.

Speaking about the engineering education, the minister said that universities must make engineering colleges autonomous to boost research.

“The number of students doing research is far below than the national requirement. The universities must free engineering colleges from the affiliation process,” Sibal said.
