What’s New in 2019 Ranking?

• Engineering division has been increased from 100 to 200
• Citations have also been normalized by the number of faculty
• Under medical institution, another sub-parameter has been introduced “Number of beds in a medical institution”
• To evaluate “Research and Professional Practice”, top 25 cited papers in the world for each discipline is introduced.
• The article identified by Financial Times (FT50) in 50 journals was added sub-parameters

So, when we talk about the duration of course which is more efficient: three-year degree or four-year degree model. It is a wonderful debatable theme to discuss among ourselves. In India, from parents to children the most common choice of graduation is engineering which is a four-degree course. But how much sense we are making while taking such a decision.

Many survey and expert academician suggest that there is nothing wrong in the 3-year model. A survey by the Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario shows that 64 per cent of 850 students surveyed see four-year degrees as “having the most value.” But do the students feel the same way about the 3-year course and if not what information they do not have in order to take an equivalent decision.

Questions we should ask ourselves: If students receive the same job role after spending less money and time, how much decision will be changed? Or what if a student with a three-year degree has better chances in master degree? And what if the college owners are knowingly removing the three-year degree college silently in order to get better revenue from four-year degree courses? Why do Tier-1 companies look for a 4-year graduate than a three-year graduate?

Factors, which explains the three-year model makes senses:

• After a year three students can start earning faster and clear the loan.
• After a year three students can look for master degree and post graduate courses to enhance the skills, which will save a year of academic and tuition fees.
• A 3+2 system is a promising movement which is seeing vastly in Europe and university in Europe are adopting a Bologna Process which is 3-2-3 model (Bachelor-Master-PhD) to save time
• Students can learn more specific subjects in the 3-year model as compare to 4-year model.

Factors, which explains the three-year model does not make senses:

• Students maturation time to adapt and learn in a timely manner can be a matter of discussion for a few courses like engineering
• Time is too less for students to decide and identify a major career goal
• Many professional degree courses like engineering are designed for a three-year course
• The 3-year course is much more successful when our secondary education curriculums are in best standards.
• Three-year course is not valid for part-time and remote students

Steven Mintz professor from the University of Texas at Austin shares a number of insights with Inside Higher Ed about the pros and cons of the three-year and four-year program. For which she speaks, “Advantage of a 3-year course is that it would allow the nation’s many prominent universities to admit more students.”

University Grant Commission (UGC) has ban higher education institutes and universities to carry out a professional degree in the form of distance mode or open education. In the latest circular, the commission has extended the number of courses under the scope of ‘professional’ courses was extended.

Including agriculture and related courses were also considered in the professional courses. Many institutes will have to shut down based on the new rules.

“To protect the interest of the students already enrolled in the agriculture degree programme, the Indian Council of Agriculture Research (ICAR) has been requested for hand-holding of such higher education institutions. However, no new enrolments will be permitted from the 2019 academic session,” a UGC official told PTI.
