If in any organization faculty is doing the kind of manipulations as mentioned in this thread of discussion, it means either management is part of this manipulation or they do not have their faculty evaluation process well defined and in practice. As far as such faculty is concerned, two things are clear – one it does not have any self-respect and two it is concerned about today and believes that he/she does not have a future.

Subject: Re: [MTC Global] [Weekend Big Debate] Teaching is not a business
Dear Prof Indranil, I agree with yr comments. The fact is that many faculty members knowing the intricacies and repurcations or after effects end up giving more internal marks for fear of losing their jobs. Its not only because of the fear and pressure from the top management, because of fear of losing their job. What's the big deal in debating abt.

Dear Prof. Dutta,
You have indeed started with a very pragmatic discussion.
I am in teaching in business management institutes for last 14 years in India and abroad and in except few cases, I have gone through such experiences where the students are treated as customers and we, the faculties are customer service people. Many institutes make tall talks, but in reality nothing such happens. The very basic principle of giving high percentages or CGPA is a unwritten norm across the sector as failing the students or giving them the poor marks are considered as the detrimental to admissions. I have seen such instances, where under the intervention of top management, faculties are forced to give upto 10 marks grace on a single paper to make a student successful. Students with only 35%-40% attendance are allowed to appear in the examination and their internal markings are also done at per with regular students. Even, though the students have not submitted any assignments or appeared in any single presentation, the student is given good marks in internal or continuous evaluation. So, you can understand, how poor the situation is?
Thanks and best wishes,
Regards,
Sincerely,
Dr. Indranil Bose

Teachers whose students do poorly on the tests get pink slips, while those whose students excel receive merit pay, much as businesses pay bonuses to their star performers and fire the laggards. This approach might sound plausible in a think tank, but in practice it has been a flop. Firing teachers, rather than giving them the coaching they need, undermines morale. Merit pay invites rivalries among teachers, when what's needed is collaboration.
Request esteemed MTCians' views.
