“Education is the manifestation of the perfection already in man”
- Swami Vivekanand
The above quotation of Swami Vivekanand reminds us that there are varying perceptions
regarding the quality of Higher Education in
India
. Education, in general and higher education,
in particular, plays a key role in the realization of economic and technological
development of a country. Higher education
enables an individual to acquire knowledge and improve his technical and managerial
skills to serve the society better.
It also helps in personality grooming and character building to make him a good
citizen. The higher education environment
thus has become fluid in many parts of the world.

The demand for higher education in
India
has expanded
drastically within two decade or so, but, this expansion is not able to move with
only the quantitative essentials but qualitative
assessments are also mandatory for higher education system. These quantitative and
qualitative issues owing to the sub standards of such institutions remain unaddressed
most of the time threatening the realization of the national goals for an effective
education system. Thus, in compliance with the guidelines of the AICTE and UGC,
which are responsible for laying down standards and guidelines for quality education
and evaluation system in the country, the Barkatullah University have stepped forward
for setting quality standards by introducing various measures like prerequisites
for entry, academic infrastructure, curriculum development, evaluation and grading
system, monitoring etc.
In the era of globalization there is an unprecedented demand
for higher education in general and technical education in particular. It has been
realized that a great diversification in technical education, as well as an increased
awareness of its vital importance for socio-cultural and economic development, and
for building the future, for which the younger generations will need to be equipped
with new skills, knowledge and ideals. How to make our technical education system
responsive to the changing needs of materialistic market oriented world, as well
as the savior and proponent of our historical, cultural and traditional heritage
is one of the biggest challenges to be sought in the coming future. Therefore, Barkatullah
University Institute of Technology
(BUIT) has provided an Environment to the young students to harness their skill
and intelligence to develop them into a technologically sound intellectual to serve
the society in particular and
India
in general.
