Aligarh Muslim University finds place in Shanghai rankings

The Aligarh Muslim University, Amity University, Homi Bhabha National Institute, Manipal University, SRM Institute of Science and Technology, and University of Calcutta have been placed at the 9-14 ranks among the universities in the country and in the 901-1000 bracket among world universities.

Detriment of Learning

The exclusion is, therefore, remarkable and a far cry from the purportedly moderate and inclusive governance that the Taliban regime had promised on August 15, when the hardliners had assumed power

Online challenges

No instructional technology has been developed to replace cooperative learning that takes place in group projects, field studies, recitals and presentations. It is generally agreed that students do not learn merely from textbooks; if so, teachers would not be required

Education suffers

It thus comes about that schools and higher education have been allocated Rs 93,224 crore, a striking cut from Rs 99,311 crore last year which was a decidedly wasted year in terms of advancement of learning from the preschool to the post-graduate and doctoral levels.
