For decades, our education system has followed a conventional approach to learning. But in recent years, we have been proactive in adopting new pedagogical trends aimed at fostering skill development and better learning outcomes. But the biggest deterrent to embracing novel developments has been the slow rate of social acceptance.
Many important factors have been responsible for bringing about a slow but definite change in mindset, including the government’s increasing focus on competing with developed economies where impetus is given to nurturing a knowledge economy rather than just equipping its citizens for survival. This applies in the case of pursuing higher education degrees as well. The Indian education system tends to follow certain conventions, which are set on pursuing one single degree like engineering, medicine etc. However, in some metros, the trend of pursuing dual or integrated degrees, is slowly gathering pace.
