Answer

Main Body

The Institutions of Eminence scheme helps provide credit and financial assistance to world-leading institutions.

It has potential to uplift Indian higher education:

1Ensures efficient utilization of funds in well-performing institutions like IITs and IISc

2Augments deficient R&D spending in tertiary education (only 0.6% GDP) to promote research

3Helps procurement of labs and machinery to compete with global research via AI Centre of Excellence in IIT Delhi

4Increases state investment in student education which is lacking by global standards

However it has deficiencies as well:

1Prioritizing well-performing institutions harms other institutions with shortage of resources

2Tax burden and compliance norms on universities reduces disposable income of key institutions

3Does not address core issues of low employability of graduates and professor-shortage in PhD programme
