Directions (Q. 71-75): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain

words have been printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.

India's colleges and universities, with just a few exceptions, have become large, under-funded, ungovernable

institutions. At many of them, politics has intruded in campus life, influencing academic appointments and decisions

across levels. Under-investment in libraries, information technology, laboratories and classrooms makes it very

difficult to provide top-quality instruction or engage in cutting-edge research. The rise in the number of part-time

teachers and the freeze on new full-time appointments in many places ha affected morale in the academic profession.

The lack of accountability means that teaching and research performance is seldom measured. The system provides

few incentives to perform. Bureaucratic inertia hampers change. Student unrest and occasional faculty agitation

disrupt operations Nevertheless, with a semblance of normality, faculty administrators are able to provide teaching,

coordinate examinations, and award degrees.

Even the small top tier of higher education faces serious problems. Many IIT graduates, well trained in

technology, have chosen not to contribute their skills to the burgeoning technology sector in India. Half leave the

country immediately upon graduation to pursue advanced study abroad and most do not return. A stunning 86 per cent

of students in science and technology fields from India who obtain degrees in the United States do not return home

immediately following their study. Another significant group, of about 30 per cent, decides to earn MBAs in India

because local salaries are higher and are lost to science and technology. A corps of dedicated and able teachers work

at the IITs and IIMs, but the lure of jobs abroad and in the private sector makes it increasingly difficult to retain the

best and brightest to the academic profession.

Few in India are thinking creatively about higher education. There is no field of higher education research.

Those in government as well as academic leaders seem content to do the "same old thing". Academic institutions and

systems have become large and complex. They need good data, careful analysis, and creative ideas. In China, more

than two dozen higher education research centres and several government agencies are involved in higher education
