“…They have to change their approaches regarding governing human resources within institutions to ensure alignment of individual and institutional goals. These changes have serious implications for the ‘publicness’ of the higher education system in a developing country like India (Chattopadhyay, 2019; Marginson, 2011). The findings of the study hint at the superficial nature of the quality achieved based on ‘external accountability’ and assessment (King, 2007).…”

This article explores the link between modes of funding, governance and performance in higher education with the help of a case study involving three engineering colleges in West Bengal, India. It examines the major factors driving performances in the selected higher education institutions. It explains how the ability to adopt and implement performative policies depends on the objective functions, mode of funding and the reputation of the institutions. The findings suggest that the obsession with performance and its linkage with funding may not necessarily lead to a sustained and inclusive improvement in quality in the higher education sector. On the other hand, institutions driven by an objective of maximising prestige may ensure quality without any performative governance policies in place. The findings are contextualised in the larger debate about implementing neo-liberal policies for the improvement of quality in the higher education sector at the national and global level.

“…1 The second question is related to ‘the degree of market orientation’ in funding mechanisms. Answers to the second question may vary depending on how the HEIs are competing for funds and if they have the freedom to design their resource-generation policies (Chattopadhyay, 2019).…”

“…In the early 1960s, public funding and philanthropic contributions were a major part of the resource for higher education in India, and the contribution from private sources in terms of tuition fees and other payments from students was negligible (Tilak, 1983). However, with the implementation of the New Economic Policy of 1991, broadly known as the Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP), the trend shifted towards private funding of higher education (Chakrabarti & Joglekar, 2006;Chattopadhyay, 2007Chattopadhyay, , 2019Panchamukhi, 1990;Panigrahi, 2019;Varghese, 2013). In the post-1990s, major policy think tanks (including the World Bank) recommended the supplementation of public higher education revenues by non-governmental sources, primarily from the users, that is, students (Johnstone, 1993(Johnstone, , 2003Johnstone et al, 1998;Woodhall, 1992;World Bank, 1994;Ziderman & Albrecht, 1995).…”

How Much do Households Spend on Professional Higher Education in India? Results from a National Survey

We find very little evidence of household investment in professional higher education in India that has seen the highest participation of the private sector. This article examines the variability of household expenditure on professional higher education in India and its relationship with socioeconomic and institutional factors. We find that households in India spend close to half of their annual income per child for accessing professional higher education. The study confirms the presence of a pro-male bias in household expenditure on professional higher education with an additional preference among poor households. Students enrolled in private institutions have spent significantly higher than those enrolled in public-funded institutions, and interestingly, this gap is not only due to the difference in the payment of fees but also due to expenses in non-fee items. The findings from this analysis have important policy insights which would contribute towards making professional higher education equitable and inclusive in India as aimed in the National Education Policy 2020.
