Managing Knowledge Processes and Conceptual Review for Higher Education Institutions

Higher education is the backbone of any country, which decides where we stand and where we want to move ahead. The objective of higher education is to provide a platform for students to enhance their knowledge, skills and attitude in their chosen area of specialization. Each course has its objectives and learning outcomes, which are to be expected after completion of the particular course. Despite all efforts, there is a huge gap in terms of the right set of skills required to make a student employable. This is one of the bottlenecks in the entire system of the teaching-learning process. Do we just want to provide a degree that is a piece of paper, or do we want to create an ecosystem in which we want to produce the manpower that can create a difference after the completion of the chosen specialization? The dream of the middle class is to get their livelihood after completion of the course, but in the current scenario, it is very hard to get a job. Whatever the reasons are, we have to accept that we are not able to generate the right set of skills among the students pursuing higher education. The objective of education is not only to get a job but to increase overall learning and understanding of the overall human ecosystem. Creating an entrepreneurial ecosystem is another option, but it is very hard to arrange all the resources required to start an entrepreneurial setup. The author, through this research, wants to find out the gap in the system and will suggest a revised mechanism to achieve the objectives of higher education.
