Necessity of Bringing Corporate Culture in Engineering Education

Abstract

Globalization, Liberalization and Privatization demand paradigm shift in the way we run our higher technical institutes. Signing of GATS by Indian Government means Higher Engineering Educational Institutes will have to face competition from foreign educational institutes. Though cost benefit will help us in the short run, we might loose on Quality aspect in the long run. Survival of the fittest is the only mantra in globalized competition. Many papers are published on bringing TQM concepts. used in Industrial Sector into educational sector to face such global competition. But TQM will be successful only if we change the present working culture in educational institutes and bring it in par with that of Industry.
