invite foreign universities....By: anupam anand,cnmc | Monday , 29 Jun '09 17:58:50 PM Reply | Forward its high time that indian universities undergo an overhaul and change quite a many faults associated with them.its high time that the orthodox method of classroom teaching be converted into a mind -opening and concept oriented parctical teaching where students can come closer to knowledge than to marks...coz at the end the knowledge matters.the indian universities will have to learn loads from foreign one's.its time we learn good things and inculcate them...let's change the system...and studying medical i know how a late session affects the students badly(although WEST BENGAL UNIVERSITY OF HEALTH SCIENCES hasno such problems)but still many univ. across india still are marred by this potential problem..inviting foreign univ. will create an urge to do better and help us adjust to endorse good and benifitting ideas..anupam anandcalcutta national medical college

Indian Univ need an exposure to competitionBy: harshika,LSE | Monday , 29 Jun '09 15:29:32 PM Reply | Forward i fully agree to the fact that the indian Univ need an exposure to the competition from the foreign univ.I have studied in indian univ and now am studying in a foreign univ and i can fully appreciate the fact that indian univ need a complete makeover..i mean we def need to change the way our univ teach....it has to be more reserach oriented and enable a student to think practically about an issue instead of just focussing on theories..also indian education system needs to give due respect to social science studies in the country...india's technical stock is excellent and am sure it will still prosper more but the social science is utterly neglected....i think a proper education reform is only possible in our country when its exposed to competition from the foreign univ.
