Indian Journal of Public AdministrationSummary: Critical of extending liberalisation policy to the field of higher education in India, the authors examine its basic postulates and their contextual validity and, drawing support from our experience in 60s and 70s, highlight the serious problems confronting our system today and their causes. Then, looking at the present centres of excellence - IIT's and IIMs - they point to their irrelevance as reflected in improper orientation and indifference of their products to our problems.
