Ms. Fareeha Akhtar is grossly mistaken. Setting 100% cutoff does not mean you are a premium college. Focusing on basic sciences and social sciences education along with an emphasis for research, even at the undergraduate level, results in good rankings.
Delhi has an inflated ego when it comes to it’s colleges and universities. That ego gets punctured when hard questions are asked, such as:
1. How many undergraduate students from premier Delhi colleges get selected at premier research institutions such as TIFR, CMI/IMSc, ISI, IISc, etc.?
Ans: A very low number. TIFR publishes the names of all students of the incoming batch every year on it’s website. A cursory glance shows that it is choc a bloc with students from South India, Maharashtra and West Bengal. Hardly a few from North India.
2. What is the research output of Delhi colleges?
Ans: They lag far behind colleges in South India, Bengal and Maharashtra.
3. What percentage of the faculty at premier higher education institutes like IIT, IISc, ISI, IISER, etc. graduated from Delhi colleges?
Ans: Again very low. South India along with Bengal and Maharashtra again punch way above their weight.
4. So what explains the ‘top ranking’ of Delhi colleges for so long?
Ans: They have enormous clout in the corridors of power in Delhi. Most of their graduates opt for Civil services careers and are in top positions in the bureaucracy. This enables them to game the system.
It’s a wake up call. It’s time to get off from your high horrse and introspect.
