Abstract

Higher Education portals in India are expected to deliver quality outcomes to the stakeholders namely Industry, Public and Higher Educational Institutions. But the expectation of the Leaders of various sectors has a different perspective towards these outcomes. This paper proposes to address the Gap in the quality perceptions of the Leaders of academia and Industry sectors. It will divulge the perceptual divide between the academia and the Industry leaders with respect to the quality outcomes of the students and the teaching faculty. This in turn will ably support the policymakers (The Govt.) and the Higher Educational Leaders to design and implement best practices in Higher Educational Institutions. This will result in quality education which will be in line with the expectations/perceptions of the Industry Leaders. Consequently it will streamline the education process in tune with the demand for quality students in the Globalised environment.
