A new book entitled - Fundamentals of Excellence in Technical and other Universities – has been released recently by Equest, India.
The book begins by stressing the role of higher education in improving the quality of life on our planet. It goes on to cover different aspects of higher education such as schedules, courses, faculty, design and governance of our universities. The author has made a candid revelation of some inappropriate practices that have crept into the best of institutions, including those in his alma maters – The UBC of Canada and the IIT at Delhi.
Administrators and academics engaged in imparting higher education will find the contents of this book interesting. Even the best of universities that exist will find some aspect useful. Other universities will find this book to be a useful guide in their quest for excellence. Planners of new universities will miss a great opportunity if they do not refer to the contents. The complex task of designing universities has been broken up into simpler steps by a new methodology developed by the author that is not available elsewhere in printed literature.
The author –Ashok Malhotra - is a leading world educator.
