1. INTRODUCTION
In terms of economics, engineering serves as a powerhouse and considered as the backbone
of the country’s economy and are core of the overall development of people’s quality of
life. It dates to the British rule and the need to develop infrastructure for infrastructural
development. Post-independence, engineering education has taken on a new significance in
India as institutions grew steadily up until 1990, the situation began to change with the
advent of computers. Today we produce around 1.5 million engineers out of more than
6000 colleges in India. The responsibility for producing competent engineers for meeting
the changing requirements of the industry lies with educational institutions and engineering
educators. A series of machines, algorithms, and robotics are augmenting the profession's
evolving contours. As the job market changes, technical colleges face a serious challenge as
companies expect their employees to have uncompromised skills. A new generation of
technology courses will likely replace traditional engineering courses in the near future.
Examples include Artificial Intelligence, Full Stack Engineering, Robotics, Cloud
Computing, Big Data Analytics, etc.
The present study aimed to enumerate the various means of addressing the challenges and
robustness of the education system in terms of its ability to address industry-specific skills
shortages, as well as to identify the substantial and emerging strengths of Indian
engineering education.to graduate engineers for the future from stakeholders’ perspective.
For analysis of these issues and challenges, focus groups are comprised of engineering
students, engineering educators, Alumni, and academic heads of institutions are formed.
With the advent of new age technologies, capricious students' mindsets, and the need to
enhance classroom education, focus group consultations revealed that trends in recruitment
processes are changing.
1.1 PROBLEM STATEMENT
An analysis and classification of problems in Educational Sector. How the problems in

the industry differ from student to student based on geography, Engineering
specialization and facilities provided by the University.
1. Is Research and Entrepreneurship encouraged by the university?

2. Do colleges provide incubation center and seed funding for startup ideas?
3. How relevant is the academic curriculum and what is the frequency of Industry interaction?
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
Paper 1: Performance Measurement of an Indian Higher Education Institute
Objectives of the Study:
1. To measure the efficiency of 19 academic departments of IIT Roorkee, India for

academic year
2. To Experimental setup that includes Data collections, Model, DEA and GHG
General Findings:
The findings of analysis can be listed as National policies on a living secondary and higher
education, Institutional policy on quality and progression secondary to higher education
achieving more effective alignment between secondary and higher education, and so on.
Thus the development of models of SCQM in education can benefit supply chain
integration and improve it's performance thus sharing of effective information will not be
lacked.
Conclusions:
SCM does not make sense for just one entity as it depends on the involvement of all links in
the chains. It is interesting conceptualise education as a supply chain and investigate the
SCQM practises in education. In all universities there are special programmes subject to the
level of competence. Since education is decided national level and cannot be changed at
school level, in terms of institutional good practice able to identify mechanism that reflect
the good practise put forward by OECD. SCQM is an under researched sector education.
Paper 2: Integrated Educational Supply Chain Management (IESCM)

for the Universities
Objectives of the Study:
1. To study the coordination and information sharing up and down the process among
all relevant parties
2. To analyse the coordination of all supply chain stakeholders to achieve desired

educational outcomes
General Findings:
The proposed conceptual IESCM model for the universities provides a novel approach for
decision makers of each supply chain components to review and appraise their performance
toward fulfilment of ultimate goals, i.e. producing high-calibre graduates and high-impact
research outcomes for the betterment of the society. This model links educational
management with general business management. From a managerial perspective, this
research provides a novel approach to developing and assessing supply chain management
application in the academia.
Conclusion:
The model is obtained through the gathering and analysis of a vast amount of primary and
secondary data. The applicability of the model is then verified and validated via Delphi.
The interrelationships among all integrated educational supply chain components are
investigated and confirmed by Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique. The
applicability of the model can be confirmed empirically. However, model evaluation by
actual implementation is suggested for prospective investors or current university
administrators.
Paper 3: The Supply Chain Quality Management in High Education: A

Case Study in Indonesia
Objectives of the study:

To formulate the supply chain quality management model by identifying the importance
factors which contribute the success of supply chain quality management practice in the
perational academic process
General Findings:
The commitment of top management in SCM is shown by various concepts such as:
corporate culture change, management support, participatory management, and
cooperation, but in the SCM and TQM case the concept is the same.
Customer focus in TQM includes customer complaints, satisfaction, close partnership with
customers, and customer responsiveness are like those found in SCM.
Conclusion:
The research presents the importance input for the concept regarding the integration of total
quality management and supply chain management implementation of study program’s
operations academic process in high education. This study compiling the development of
the concept of supply chain quality management implementation concept and proposition
in the form of a causal model that links the influence between several related concepts in
supply chain quality management.
Paper 4: Major Challenges Facing Small and Medium-sized Enterprises in

Asia and Solutions for Mitigating them
Objectives:
To provide the society value by producing high quality graduates and quality research
outcomes. Realizing that the research on academic supply chain management may also be
conducted for their own educational institutions.
General Findings:
The factor that highly contributed to the university is students. Research suppliers are the
most significant factor in the university. the society consists of graduates and research
outcomes. The most significant factor in the society is education customers.
Conclusion:
They show the significant relationship among different factors in educational supply chain
to produce quality graduates and quality research outcomes for the betterment of the
society. There are significant relationship between education suppliers and students as well
as research suppliers and research projects to enhance the universities. From the research
findings, students and research suppliers are highly contributed to the universities.
Paper 5: Performance measurement of an Indian higher education Institute:

a sustainable educational supply chain management perspective
General Findings:
1. Education sector can be considered as a service based industry; a non-profit

organization where the objective is to serve the nation by producing quality
graduates and research outcomes.
2. In an ordinary supply chain the objective is to integrate and optimize the activities
within and across the organization so as to satisfy the customer.
3. Likewise, in an Educational Supply Chain the nation plays the role of supplier as
well as the customer and the institution pays the role of the service industry.
Conclusions:
1. Some departments like Chemistry, Earthquake Engineering, Earth Sciences,

Humanities and Social Sciences, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering and
Metallurgical and Materials Engineering are high in research supply chain efficiency
but low in teaching supply chain efficiency measured by DEA without considering
GHG Emission. This could indicate that their focus for educational SCM is more on
research activities than teaching activities.
2. In contrast, a few departments supply chain efficiency measured by DEA while

considering GHG emission, for example Biotechnology, Civil Engineering, Earth
Sciences, Electrical Engineering and Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, have
high teaching efficiency but low research efficiency. This could imply that this
department is more competent, productive and sustainable in teaching supply chain
but less capable in conducting research with taking care of sustainability aspect

9. SUGGESTION/RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Current power consumption (2019-20) at the undergraduate and post-graduate level is 50%
lower (approx.) (Capacity Vs. Enrollment). Building more capacity is a never-ending
investment in investment because, at a basic level, it involves building infrastructure that
looks like infrastructure and laboratory infrastructure. We recommend that we do not build
new strengths from the 2020 teaching year. The latest capacity build can be reviewed every
two years at that time.
2. As we make such a big decision, we also see that there are other applications within the
pipeline for new / new energy used in the last one or two years. This is further awaited due to
the requirement of certain permissions. Therefore, applications made this year and the last
two years can be considered even starting institutions if the infrastructure is already in place.
3. We recommend that AICTE should take energy use seriously as it provides additional
capacity to many universities across the country.
4. Poor employment of students with engineering degrees is a sign of weakness - a lack of
quality, and teaching. tourism is important to wish for immediate action to improve the
quality of our teachers.
a. Faculty skills need to be developed, especially within the areas of recent technology
and research on critical intellectual development programs. The training of teachers in
teacher training institutions, using quality management systems (QIPs) and the use of
IIT / NIT and infrastructure skills are the kind of interventions we recommend
immediately.
b. to achieve the necessary change within education in the immediate future, we
recommend an industry visit with a strong focus on exposure to the expertise of the
most advanced technologies. Industrial organizations are also finding strength in
helping this.
c. To strengthen teaching, we recommend engineering excellence by certification /
diploma / degree in education.
5. Also, we may require additional technical interventions such as MOOCs to avoid the type
of barriers that are lacking in intelligence and therefore the level of education. Students
should rely on greater flexibility in using MOOCs in their basic and optional subjects.
Universities and private institutions should be authorized to use MOOCs in the short term.
6. Low enrollment, inclusion, and employment prospects is a matter of concern.Service
delivery is essential for national economic development. While acknowledging the role that
educational institutions can play in improving the quality of education and indirectly
contributing to its use, all other stakeholders including government and industry should also
begin to address remedial measures to strengthen generation use.
7. As research becomes more democratic, finances may need to be spent wisely. Institutions
should build project management skills in research to strengthen rapid transformation, reduce
costs and over-planning, and better industrial and educational collaboration.
8. Educational institutions must continue to monitor future skills needs and make appropriate
24 | P a g e
changes to content and teaching so that graduates have the right skills for the job market.
Therefore, the institutional approach to the industry from time to time in the development of
technology and its impact on job roles should be put in place.
9. There is evidence to suggest that this industrial and academic partnership needs to be
improved. We recommend the following interventions:
a. Analysis tools should be familiar with the impact of different teaching methods and
identify unique ways of doing lessons and learning lessons - firmly strengthen work-
based learning and teaching.
b. Vocational training should be made compulsory in the industry (somehow available
but requires strong implementation) and compulsory in educational institutions
(ranging from 25% to 100% in five years.
c. Two industry representatives to be part of the board of all institutions.
d. The promotion of industrial and academic collaboration in the included research
should be encouraged.
e. Establish 20 National Knowledge Functional Hubs (NKFH) as a pilot at AICTE
accredited facilities to create an environmental program for industrial and academic
engagement.
f. We recommend that AICTE take into account the needs of the local environmental
industry while creating new capabilities or expanding existing capacity to deepen
domain knowledge and meet industry needs.
g. At the same time, we recommend that AICTE measure this measure in line with
national and international requirements by introducing courses to disrupt virtual
technology nationally and internationally.
10. We have evidence to point out that new environments, incubators and ecosystems are
lacking in educational institutions. As appropriately adopted by GOI, priority is a key driver
for job creation and wealth creation. All educational institutions must be accredited to do the
following:
a. Entrepreneurship should be a small choice for graduate students regardless of
whether they graduate or university
b. Thinking labs such as Atal Innovation Labs will be set up in all centers.
c. To further start-ups, educational institutions should develop and incorporate
incubator centers, counseling clubs, and accelerator programs.
11. Research into future trends in education shows that learner-centered learning should be a
priority.
a. We recommend that students be encouraged to design ideas and practical learning
methods.
b. Students should also be made aware of the world's social and economic problems in
order to solve them using technical learning.
c. Technology should be used for each learning method
25 | P a g e
10. CONCLUSION
Education is that the art of preparing the individuals with skills and overall development.
University may be a place where creative minds converge and ideas germinate. An empirical
survey to grasp the perceptions of stakeholders of engineering education was applied through
focus group consultations. In general, students have mixed perceptions on the the quality of
engineering knowledge imparted to them. But most of them were optimistic on the longer term
of engineering education and also the parents’ major motive behind choosing engineering for
his or her ward’s career is that the availability of job opportunities. Faculty members also
expressed positively on the longer term of engineering education but were apprehensive on the
students’ mindset. Overall, international competition, changing global scenario, expectations of
the task markets and advent of latest technologies pose challenges and necessitates the analysis
of the present curricula and their relevance to the planet in future. Hence there's great must shift
the main focus of upper education institutions, technical teachers, and therefore the universities
to update and construct curriculum to reinforce 21st century skills.
