But due to poor quality of education in these institutions, the graduates are unable to compete in the job markets and get depressed. Present study has been conducted with the objective: i. to study higher educational scenario in selected district of Punjab, ii.to access quality of education in selected higher educational institutions and iii. to measure satisfaction level of students and teachers in the selected institutions Secondary data from 1980 to 2018 were collected from the respective issues of Statistical Abstract: Punjab whereas primary data was collected from the teachers and students, selected from 12 colleges of Ludhiana district. The results of the study show that from 1980 to 2018, there was five-fold increase in the number of universities in Punjab and two-fold increase in the number of universities in Ludhiana. The number of colleges had increased three times in Punjab and doubled in Ludhiana. For the quality of education, the top ranks amongst all colleges was attained by Government (teacher specific parameters) or the private aided colleges (student and infrastructure specific parameters) whereas the least ranks were achieved by the Private colleges in all the parameters. The government college teachers were dissatisfied with the infrastructure and college bureaucracy while private aided college teachers were dissatisfied with salary and college management. The Government aided college students were dissatisfied with the library facilities and partial behavior of teachers. The study suggests that altogether privatization in higher educational institutions must be discouraged. | en_US |
