Flexibility Inwards Curriculum Or A Fell Joke
We at IIT Kanpur create an intensive review of our under-graduate programs every 10 years. We receive got 2 years to gear upward a report, 2 years to hash out that report, together with adjacent six years to figure out how to implement that report, together with and thence it is fourth dimension for the adjacent review. The final review happened betwixt 2008 together with 2011, together with nosotros decided to implement it from 2011 without whatever training or planning.
The biggest modify that was envisaged inwards the novel organization was the huge flexibility it supposedly offered. The thought was that people can't ever learn to study the dependent plain they desire to study, together with they sometimes prepare novel interests, together with such interests could hold out satisfied past times having him/her study at to the lowest degree a few courses inwards those areas, if non a amount fledged under-graduate degree.
Such a educatee could create a kid inwards some other dependent plain (3-4 courses), or a secondary major (about 10 courses), or create a Master's marking inwards that dependent plain (a few UG courses together with and thence all Master's bird credits). Let us await how this has panned out, straight off that the get-go batch is nearly to graduate. (Actually less than one-half is graduating.)
Total reveal of students inwards 2011 admission batch are 807.
Number of students who receive got done a kid = 125.
Number of students doing a secondary major = 16.
Number of students who are doing a Master's marking inwards some other dependent plain = 11.
Appears to hold out pretty successful. Almost 20% of the students are able to create something inwards some other discipline, which is great. But looks tin mail away hold out deceptive. Let us await into what kid these students are doing.
Out of 125 minors, 99 are inwards management. Surely, non everyone wants to study management. One would receive got guessed that some people would receive got wanted to study something else. Then, why management. It is because the kid is supposed to hold out done inwards your opened upward elective slots. Open electives are courses that you lot tin mail away create from whatever department. But inquire a educatee what happens when s/he approaches a faculty fellow member of other subdivision for a course. Other than Industrial together with Management Engineering department, inwards which at that topographic point are many faculty members who routinely learn classes of 100+ students, almost all faculty members shun the non-department students similar plague. So students receive got no options but to create at to the lowest degree a few IME subdivision courses inwards their opened upward elective slots, together with and thence some would state to themselves, why non create that extra course of study - it volition permit me to receive got that business inwards the transcript that I did a kid inwards management. May hold out that volition assistance somewhere.
One would receive got guessed that Computer Science would hold out the most pop minor. And believe me, it is. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 huge reveal of students desire it. How many receive got got it. Eleven. That is nearly 1 percentage of the batch.
Students doing minute major are 1 time again to a greater extent than oftentimes than non inwards CSE together with IME departments.
And students doing minute marking inwards some other dependent plain are to a greater extent than oftentimes than non doing an MBA every bit the minute degree.
Frankly, these numbers enjoin a pitiable even out of under-graduate didactics at IIT Kanpur. We exactly aren't able to cater to the aspirations of our students.
We should either abide by ways inwards which nosotros tin mail away encounter the aspirations of a larger reveal of students who believe that an establish of national importance similar IIT Kanpur wouldn't hold out lying when it proudly talks nearly the flexibility inwards its curriculum. Or nosotros should unopen downwardly these programs. The administrative overhead of running these programs for a little reveal of students is exactly non worth it. And if nosotros unopen the programs, nosotros would hold out to a greater extent than honest nearly our processes together with curriculum.
