Where have engineering teachers gone?

The nation faces a shortage of 1.5 lakh engineering teachers. Abdul Latheef Naha looks at the state of colleges with inadequate number of faculty.          Higher education in the country, particularly engineering education, is facing a crisis. It is pulling on with half the teacher strength it requires. The government pressed a red button the other day when it was revealed in Parliament that the country faced a shortage of more than 3,00,000 teachers in its institutions of higher learning. In engineering education alone, the shortage is more than 1,50,000.
