What is it about?

This study tries to illustrate the present status of engineering education, particularly in India and tends to skim the various parameters that affect the enrolment of students among higher education institutes, directly or indirectly.Factors reviewed from literature were further prioritized quantitatively after floating suitable Questionnaire among relevant set of engineering aspirants. The ‘Survey Form’ used was tactically designed on the basis of Response Surface Methodology, which analysed the data captured in Minitab statistical software and deduct logical inferences to optimize the ‘Critical to Admission’ factors, applicably.

Perspectives

A case study was successfully executed in a North Indian state to prove the efficacy of proposed methodology as far as downtrend in admission was concerned. This study was a rare blend of questionnaire-based work, where design of experiments principles had been utilized exclusively. It provided significant findings on how to earmark different admission-decisive factors along with their required prioritization. It can further help the universities and higher education institutes to draft their indispensable professional policies and vision–mission statements, appropriately.
