Anyway the crux was this: I agree with Hantan's views to the extent that B-school profs continue to be among the best in the country but then even that is restricted to the cream. (Naturally, prolly others cannot AFFORD the best heads, at least on paper??? I don't quite buy that myself but yeah... that could be the reason). Consequently, the divide between the best and the rest is enlarging to an extent that seems uncontrollable at the moment.<br />And I agree with you Govind as regards the elsewhere scenario. My profs here for instance are the best in the country in what they do. But the future? Pretty bleak I must say. A cousin of mine is doing M. Math at a premiere insti and she is not "too" impressed with the teaching either. So even the supposedly best arts and science places languish from the same sort of impoverishment of good faculty! <br /><br />Hmmm...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6569021312787647334.post-39854077759050660652009-08-28T08:01:28.220-07:002009-08-28T08:01:28.220-07:00@Hantan:Your views are most welcome!

I partially agree when they say IT dept teachers are geth staff.. save Thiruvali and i-dunno-whatsitsname, i just love their awesomeness.

Guess i can take this liberty to network with other commentators here.. <br /><br />@venky the "jinukku jikkan jinah" piece was hilarious! you havent seen the other side of teaching i guess. If you hear about Bschools, you'll see ppl swearing by their profs..

I agree that teaching is a noble profession, but of late the wrong people are taking up teaching for all the wrong reasons.<br />Don't be apprehensive.

You never know, you just might start the next revolution. :)GPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04672384380961254875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6569021312787647334.post-58108212806475955242009-08-27T06:17:27.178-07:002009-08-27T06:17:27.178-07:00some typos and syntactic discontinuities in my com...some typos and syntactic discontinuities in my comment there.

It is a vicious cycle and one does not know where to begin really... Perhaps, entering teaching with the same monetary view with which one enters other fields (a view which is NOT criminal, a view which is practical but a view which until recent times was a mismatch to the remuneration standards in the vocation until recently!) could be stated as one reason...<br /><br />I for one have always wanted to teach and I guess I have been fortunate enough to have been taught by the legends of the fall as it were. If the recent pay hikes are anything to go by, one problem seems to be somewhat taken care of... But what about the attitude towards change? Sigh!<br /><br />It is sad and even if I do not make a revolution, I wish to think I can pitch in - at least in my sphere.<br /><br />PS: Talking of academics, the new UGC norms on Ph. Ds are mortifying. Instead of seeking to make things stringent at the top, they are - by the looks of it - trying to make it easier.
