National On-Line Examination System In India

Online education in India is passing through its initial stage. Although online education has tremendous scope in India yet individuals and institutions are shying away from testing and using the same. This may be because it is a new concept and requires different form of skills, expertise and infrastructure.

Naturally when online education in India is not matured enough we cannot expect much from online examinations in India. There has been a proposal to develop national online examination system in India. This proposal makes sense as the traditional paper oriented manual examination system is time consuming, inefficient, and unfriendly to the environment. Even corruption is wide prevalent in the conventional educational system of India. The online examination system will pave the way for a clean, fair, fast and efficient examination and evaluation process in India.

The system would also allow and specified examination to be conducted from multiple locations spread over the country over multiple slots spread over many days. The system permits the candidate to select the date, time-slot and venue. Being a totally computerised system, the results are ready as soon as the last slot of examination is complete.

Although the proposed system is very ambitious yet it would face many techno legal challenges in India. Both technical and legal issues of online examination system of India must be thoroughly tested before its launch in India. For instance, cyber security of online education system of India and online examination system of India must be put at place before using any such systems. In short, online examination system of India must be field tested before its use at large scale in India.

Once such online education system and online examination system is put at place, it may greatly help in the establishment of virtual campuses in India. The corruption in higher education in India is well known and virtual campuses can eliminate higher educational corruption in India.

Presently, corruption and irregularities are undermining the higher education in India. This is more so regarding the higher legal education in India that is in real mess. If we rely upon the sources that have themselves witnessed this arbitrariness, irregularities and corruption, then it is clear that PhDs in India are dying. The truth is that higher legal education in India needs urgent reforms.

Perry4Law Techno Legal Base (PTLB) strongly recommends formulation of a techno legal framework for online education in India and online examination in India. PTLB is already providing various techno legal e-learning courses in India through its online education platform. The techno legal e-learning in India by PTLB is exclusive in nature as it is the only institution that is providing techno legal online education in India. PTLB is also providing trainings and courses for bar examinations in India and bar entrances in India. PTLB wish that the national online examination system of India be a great success.

Higher Legal Education In India Needs Reforms

There is no second opinion about the fact that legal education in India needs urgent reforms. This is more so regarding higher legal education in India that is in really bad shape. Despite many suggested measures, higher legal education in India is still in a very poor state.

This is also the reason why continuing professional legal education in India has failed miserably. Further, this is also the reason why PhDs in India are almost extinct as far as legal education is concerned.

Naturally, higher legal education in India is in doldrums. Vast spread corruption has destabilised the higher education in India. These are serious issues that must be resolved by both the education minister and law minister of India.

Higher legal educational reforms in India must comprise of many essential elements. Transparency to support for higher legal research and education in India are essential components of the same.

These days news of international cooperation in the field of education between India and other nations is in abundance. However, that is just stressing upon the outer shell without curing the diseased inner core of decaying educational system of India.

India needs to urgently take care of the fallacies and deficiencies of its educational system that is not serving any purpose except brain drain. The sooner we do this the better Indian education system would be.

PhDs In India Are Dying

Kapil Sibal and Salman Khurshid are two of the most Important and Learned Politicians of India. If we have to take care of the “Deteriorating Conditions” of Higher Legal Research and Education in India, their “active participation and continuous attention” is a must.

While Kapil Sibal has been working hard in the field of Higher Education Cooperation with United States and other Countries, yet in our own Nation Higher Education Standards are not upto the mark and are prone to various “Corrupt Practices” and “Arbitrary Decision Making”.

Recently, I sent E-Mails to both Kapil Sibal and Salman Khurshid and brought to their notice the deteriorating conditions of Higher Legal Education in India. This is the excerpts/relevant portion of the same.

“I hope this E-Mail would find you in the best your Health and Strength.

Although I can wish a Good Health for You but I am afraid I cannot expect the same from our Dying Educational System, especially our Legal Educational System. I am personally acquainted of this decaying of our Legal Education in India.

Higher Legal Education is a must for Country like India. Being a Pioneer in Legal Fraternity and then as a Productive and Useful Member of Parliament, You are Yourself aware of the importance of Legal Education in India. However, Higher Legal Education in India is in “Doldrums”.

Corruption and Lack of Transparency has eaten up the Good Legal Standards and quality that was once a “Benchmark” of our Legal Education. Whether it is the “Funds” for PhD Candidates or other Financial and Non Financial Facilities, Legal Researchers are finding it really difficult to do PhD except by “Compromising” with Moral and Ethical Standards.

A person like Me, who believes in Transparency and Lack of Corruption, is seldom satisfied with the Legal Education of India. While I would prefer a Foreign University to do my PhD due to these “Irregularities” yet I hope You would not allow this “Negative Precedent” to repeat in the future. I hope You can do a “Great Service” to this Nation by eliminating the “Factors” that are responsible for the deaths of PhD in India”.

If PhD is a “Breeding Ground” for Corrupt Practices and Irregularities, there is no scope for Higher Legal Education in India. I hope the two Learned Ministers would take an immediate and urgent note of this “Precarious Situation”.
