Can you pick out one College anywhere in Kerala, which can match up to the top rung colleges of India like Presidency (Kolkatta), Stephen's, Src, Hindu College (Delhi)Sophia and Xavier's in M'bai.

Generous 'moderation' at every level has catapulted semi-literates with degrees and they become teachers, lecturers, scholars and administrators, then you know what you will get.

Laptops are only tools, unless you know how to take advantage of the facility you'll have electronic plagiarism becoming rampant.

Ask a graduate to write a sentence in English or Malayalam, I can assure u they will not be able to deliver a mistake-free sentence.

Politicking in Education, nepotism in appointments and syllabi that may be updated on paper but not implemented-all these are the festering rot in the system.

Colleges must change their attitude

Many of the private unaided proffessional colleges in kerala are moving towards a wireless enviornment in which students are given laptops and can connect to the college network or internet from anywhere in the campus.The mode of education has also changed to multimedia projectors and laptop systems.

Also students looking for placement get attracted to these colleges and courses.

On the other hand our aided college sector is remaining static with age old equipments and less funds.Even internet is a dream in many places. Also they are not ready to adapt to the new scenario by changing the cariculum,to provide more job opportunity to the students.

In the long run, if this trend continue, our aided and government colleges will become deserted.
