Focusing on processes, not outcomes, as base for education reforms

Nearly 38% of faculty positions at the IITs remain vacant, with many lecturers paid meagre salaries.

Curricula in many institutions remain outdated, with content unchanged for two decades.

Research misconduct has reached unprecedented levels, and many institutions lack state-of-the-art laboratory infrastructure.

Reforms should focus on processes such as secure examination models used by SAT, TOEFL, and GMAT, and move beyond unidimensional measures like exam scores.

Alternative admission pathways introduced by the IITs should be expanded across institutions and disciplines to reduce stress and encourage holistic development.
