Why has BIT Mesra gone down so drastically? Will it ever come back to normal?
Posted On - Apr 23, 2021There are various reasons combined together that have resulted in deteriorating education opportunities and quality at BIT Mesra. Despite the huge amount of funds ranging into hundreds of crores, the institute has been receiving, there is no improvement in the situation at all. Here are a few reasons why BIT Mesra has suffered a deteriorating situation over the past few years
- C.K. Birla Group is financially highly unstable and thus adds to the insecurity of the institute as a whole.
- The government of Jharkhand has bad ties with BIT because the CM of Jharkhand was kicked out of BIT without a degree.
- The faculty is worse than VIT, Manipal, RVCE, etc. The poor quality of facilities is the major reason for its drastic downfall. Most of the professors are underqualified or not interested in teaching.
- The college promotes zero research culture and this has resulted in a gradual downfall.
- There is a huge communication gap between the administration and students. Students should be given positions in administration and the administration should work on improving the facilities such as the incubation center for the betterment of the institute.
- The T n P Cell is also responsible for the fall in the placements. They have minimal connections with alumni and fail to attract better companies.
- The institute lacks International Collaborations for undergraduate internships and research.
The students should work hard to bring about the above changes if they want to save their college from falling into the pit.
A friend of mine who graduated from BIT Mesra was asked the same question. He does not think that BIT Mesra has gone down drastically.
It has, according to him, neither gone down in quality nor moved ahead particularly, in the pace the country has been moving ahead. BIT Mesra is one of the many industries that has not moved forward significantly.
- Some of the reasons for this could be the lack of research, lethargy in administration, faculty not being up to the mark, the course structure being rigid, less connection(s) with the industries.
- A big reason for these inconveniences is the lack of leadership with a vision. Everyone, starting from the Deans to the VCs wish to take their institutions to great heights.
- BIT Mesra requires its students to write even scrutiny applications on a printed page and submit them in person.
- The lack of vision is predominant in the institution. This also includes mess bills, teaching methodologies, and internship procedures.
It would be very difficult for BIT Mesra to compete with institutes that are applying for the “Institutes of Eminence” tag by the Central Government. In the foreseeable future, BIT Mesra will be an above-average institution; chances of it being perceived as a premium institution are slim.
However, my friend does hope that someone takes charge of the institution and pulls it out of the many uncertainties it is facing currently.
