Re: [MTC Global] Our (Indian) Ph. D. theses should be vetted by a randomly chosen professor from a developed country

Prof. Appalayya Meesala has rightly pointed out "The research quality of Indian universities is apparently crying for immediate attention and a makeover". The quality of outcome depends on how the inputs are processed. Process needs to be goal focused..

Hence, first of all we have to fix goal (s) for research. In India our research goal is mainly promotion (to enhance earning capacity) focused, though there but a few islands that are pure development or knowledge focussed.

In fact quality research needs no assessment by the third party, but such a reseach drags many followers!

Subject: [MTC Global] Our (Indian) Ph. D. theses should be vetted by a randomly chosen professor from a developed country

The research quality of Indian universities is apparently crying for immediate attention and a makeover, as evidenced by poor international rankings that our universities get. With a proper strategy in place, research quality should be brought on par with that of the developed countries.

A regulatory body should randomly pick up degree-awarded theses of our universities and send them for examination by a foreign professor who should be randomly chosen. The university should not be allowed to choose an examiner on its own since such selection can be self-serving, as we are seeing; for example, the foreign professors to whom our universities are sending theses for examination are just descendants of our own system and they are just a part of 'mutual admiration' cliche. They don't critique the theses objectively, obviously because they too are a products of the same system.

India should maintain a large of panel of foreign professors ( also some Indian professors too from reputed institutes of India) who should be randomly assigned with examining the quality of theses produced by Indian universities.

There are of course some good universities in India too which maintain good research standards but they are just islands.

India should come out of this sad pickle wherein Ph Ds are just capable of working as clerks, attendants, entry level jobs only.
