HIGHER EDUCATION EVALUATION: TRANSPARENCY,ACCOUNTABILITY AND COMPARABILITY

Abstract

The paper presents a critique of evaluation in Higher Education in the light of transparency, accountability and comparability at Higher Education Stage. It is observed that prevalent fallacies in the evaluation process restrict the comparability of scores achieved by the degree-holders; in this, lack of correspondence in the instructional objectives, curricular modes of transaction, evaluation criteria and needs at the societal level come into picture. It is asserted that use of randomizers for appointment of examiners at the State/National Level is the need of the hour. Suggestion is made that innovations in examination process be carried out by C.B.C.S. and Universities and institutions of eminence be tried out at the higher education level; this may help break the tedium attending education processes at the higher education level.
