SOCIOLOGY OF HIGHER EDUCATION IMPACT, CHALLENGES AND CONTRIBUTIONS, AND THEIR CONTEXTS

Abstract: According to international standards, India's higher education system lags in several areas. To keep their jobs and the standard of the educational institutions, the faculty of Indian academic institutions must overcome several obstacles. However, Indians have a reputation for making a name for themselves in the academic world and have contributed to many notable fields of study. Some of the best scientists are of Indian descent. It was observed, by McNulty (2017), that Indians with American citizenship place a greater focus on academics and education. The purpose of the exploratory study is to learn what Indian academics and researchers think about higher education. 57 Indian volunteers who had completed higher education participated in the research and answered an opinion questionnaire. Five-point rating scale data were collected, statistical analysis was performed, and discussions were held
