Put another way, why is this problem worse in India than it is in the US? Those factors would seem to apply more-or-less equally in both places.

- sn41 6y agoIn the US, for-profit education (Univ. of Phoenix-type) is equally bad. I think there is a report by former Senator Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) from circa 2011 on this. [1] But almost no US educational institute is for-profit, many run on endowments. The teaching faculty often have PhDs. The faculty in CSE even in teaching colleges have had post graduate education, often involving research. The teaching staff in Indian for-profit colleges are essentially the stragglers among the UGs from similar for-profit colleges. Poor pay with a shoestring staff willing to work for that pay is part of the business model.
