I wholeheartedly endorse the perspectives shared by Prof. MAMIDALA JAGADESH KUMAR, Chairperson of the University Grants Commission (UGC), in his analysis of why faculty recruitment regulations require a thorough overhaul. The challenges articulated are deeply resonant for new-age institutions like Rishihood University, which seek to disrupt the status quo and redefine education as a driver of societal and public transformation. The restrictive criteria for recruitment, such as disciplinary boundaries, inadvertently deter us from hiring the best talent for the job. In practice, it forces HEIs to compromise by aligning with archaic metrics instead of focusing on education that builds leaders for tomorrow. Granting greater freedom to institutions to select faculty, provided accountability mechanisms are in place, will encourage innovative and experiential learning while maintaining standards. We look forward to collective action from the UGC, institutions, and thought leaders to make this vision a reality. Let's redefine excellence in education together.

𝐈𝐕𝐘 𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐆𝐔𝐄 𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬- While the overall prestige of an institution is often emphasised, it's imperative to recognise that rankings can VARY significantly across academic disciplines. The Ivy League universities, renowned for their multidisciplinary excellence, may excel in specific fields while maintaining an overall high standard. Hence, applicants are encouraged to SCRUTINISE rankings SPECIFIC to their chosen courses of study. For instance, a university excelling in business might not top the charts in engineering. The top law school ranking might be different from the art school ranking in the same university. This granular approach ensures that aspirants align their academic ambitions with the strengths of the respective Ivy League institutions, fostering a more targeted and informed decision-making process.
