The best joke heard in the recent years:
Parents asked college watchman: "Is this a good college?"
Watchman: "Must be the best. I studied BE here & got this campus placement."
To my consternation, I read the news that 255 doctorates (PhD degree holders) are in the race, out of 23 lakh applicants, for 368 peon posts in the secretariat of Uttar Pradesh government in India. And while more than 1.5 lakh graduates have applied for the jobs, the number of post graduates is 24,969. (The New Indian Express)

For 14 posts of sanitary workers in the Secretariat, nearly 5,000 persons applied including engineers and postgraduates.

REEL and REAL
Did they study MBA to sell kerchiefs & doormats to the passers-by on roads ? The situation is real. Out of curiosity, I entered into conversation with some graduates pestering people coming out of restaurants to buy books, kerchiefs, etc. One BE graduate told me that he was in a 'software' job for sometime, and that he is more comfortable and earning more by selling the petty items on the road. Some sales girls & boys in malls told me that they couldn't get a job related to their graduate degrees.

An applicant for a Grade IV job is an MBBS doctor !!!
A survey by Wheelbox Employability Skills Test (WEST) showed that only 34 per cent of our graduates have employability skills. Another survey indicated that only 19 per cent of engineering and 5 percent of non-engineering graduates are employable. Most of our schools and colleges follow the theme of rote-learning and scoring high marks sans thinking, creativity and innovation.

| So, we shall have more Ph.Ds applying for PEON posts, and we may boast that our country has the highest number of doctorates in the world !!! |
CORRUPT COLLEGES
“ACTING” FACULTY
HEAL THYSELF, medical education
BITTER PILL
Irregularities in medical education is one of the issues which prompted four senior Supreme Court judges to call for an unprecedented press meet to publicly criticise the Chief Justice of India on January 12, 2018. INCREDIBLE JUDICIARY ! "NO, YOUR. HONOUR !" is the bold headline on the front page of a newspaper (TNIE, January 13, 2018). "Perhaps,in a first in the annals of Indian judicial history, four senior Supreme Court judges publicly criticised Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra over the allocation of cases at a press conference in New Delhi on January 13, 2018. The revolt against the Chief Justice has been months in the making when in November 2017 he declared himself as "the master of the roster" and overruled an order by Justice Chelameswar assigning a five-judge bench to look into allegations of bribes paid to senior judges in a medical college scam. This is an extraordinary event in the history of any nation, more particularly this nation, and an extraordinary event in the institution of judiciary.
"And, one president of the Medical Council of India was in jail for allegedly amassing wealth (Rs. 1,800 crore) through corrupt practices in medical education like facilitating official recognition to some substandard medical colleges.
OUR SACRED TEMPLES OF LEARNING
Corrupt practices in the field of education grabbed headlines in news media in February 2018 with the arrest of the Vice-Chancellor of Bharathiar University on February 2, 2018 on charges of accepting a bribe from an assistant professor. His predecessor was also alleged to be involved in corrupt practices and had been under the scanner of the DVAC. And, a former Vice-Chancellor of Anna University, Coimbatore was convicted to five years of rigorous imprisonment on charges of demanding and accepting bribes (
