thumbnail Must the curriculum be sale-able?:

"Every university - if you feel they have to make the same stereotyped syllabus - there will be no necessity for a board of studies! And every organization wants specializations, commensurate with the faculty available and the demands that are required by the society.

Now to compare the syllabus of "X" which is different from the syllabus of "Y" - definitely it will be different! There cannot be any common point between the two.

Insofar as the saleability is concerned, thequestion of completing the syllabus,I think the question of comparing the syllabus of a university is only an individual feeling, it need not be a general feeling. It should not be construed as either X-is-good or Y-is-good: every field has got its own silver lining!

There is no necessity for us to belittle anyone in whatever capacity. Every organization is doing things commensurate with the requriements of the society and with the sale-ability of the products produced by them - nothing more than this. "
