Tandon Report: Conclusions Without Reasons!

The Tandon Committee in its 129-page report uploaded on the Department of Higher Education website has adopted simple approach – Decry whosoever you want.
After spending a few pages on explaining their notions and ideas about the phenomenon of university, university systems, the existing provisions and so on, the Committee under the leadership of Prof. PN Tandon simply jumps to its conclusions.
The report contains tables with notional ratings finally converted in marks. The committee was least bothered with being logical and rational. It defined nine parameters – the broad framework, but there are no defined standards, the yardstick, against which the institutions were tested. It is all a notional work. They ranked the institutions like this because they felt like that. They had no other reason for their conclusions otherwise they would have given detailed observations on different institutions with sufficient reason and logic to reach the conclusion. But that was not to be.
