THE MOST PRACTICALIDEA Tie ups with companies for industrial training I think that the tie-ups with various companies would be of immense help as it would put the college students in a similar atmosphere that they would face once they are out of their institutions. It would also let them cope up with the vigour and rigour of the corporate sector and they would learn what the market demands.

- 10. THE MOST DISRUPTIVEIDEA Involve employers in curriculum design I think that involving the prospective employers in curriculum design can be of immense help.

This way the students would be taught exactly those aspects which a company looks for in the individuals walking out of their colleges.

These institutes would certainly bring their expertise in education that they have earned over the years. They would definitely maintain the reputation of their campuses in foreign lands, to maintain their status in the world rankings and in turn would help to improve the education system of the nation.
