A Study of the Structure and Changes of Postgraduate Education in the Global Knowledge Superpower India
As an important supporting factor for India to turn itself into"a vibrant knowledge society and global knowledge superpower",the postgraduate education in India has expanded rapidly.The postgraduate enrolment scale now ranks first in the world and the increase of independent postgraduate training capability is remarkable.The five major types of postgraduate education in India include those of Ph.D..M.Phil.,Post Graduate.Post Graduate Diploma and Integrated studies,each with its own characteristics.When different learning style,training objectives and duration of study are adopted,diversified training modes are produced,forming a system of disciplines and specialties that has deeply rooted in the Indian spirit and with traditional knowledge.In terms of the postgraduate education scale,there are apparent difference between disciplines,the proportion of postgraduates of different types in the same discipline,the proportion of the postgraduates of the same type in different disciplines are significantly different,but the different types of postgraduate education in disciplinary distribution is very concentrated.There are still some problems in the development of postgraduate education in India,such as the mismatch between scale expansion and training quality,the conflict between independent training and international outflow of talent,the disconnection between academic training content and actual employment needs,and the incompatibility between discipline structure adjustment and industrial development needs.
