Quality concerns in Technical Education in India: A quantifiable quality enabled model
Purpose The paper aims to discuss current Technical Education scenarios in India. It proposes modelling the factors affecting quality in a technical institute and then applying a suitable technique for assessment, comparison and ranking. Design/methodology/approach The paper chose graph theoretic approach for quantification of quality enabled model. Further, the paper has validated the approach by taking examples of institutions and applying the methodology. Findings The paper provides a systematic methodology to build a quality model for quantification of various factors in a technical institute. The qualitative effect represented in form of a single numerical index is a novel method for such representations. The illustrated methodology in the paper is equally useful for comparison and ranking of a set of institutes. Research limitations/implications Because of the chosen factors in the approach, the methodology may not be equally suitable based on type and size of institute and the geographical
