Abstract

Purpose:- This paper aims to determine the students’ perception of quality education in Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) of the Jind and Sirsa Districts of Haryana State.

Design/methodology/approach: - Encompassing quality education is a significant concern nowadays. An attempt has been made to gather information about quality education. This study is exploratory cum descriptive in nature. A questionnaire, i.e., based on the criteria specified by NAAC on quality education, was framed, and data were collected from 100 students of Post-Graduation and PhD. Multi-stage sampling was used for collecting the data from respondents.

Findings:- The findings shows that there is a significant difference among students of both districts, namely Jind and Sirsa, in the frequency of feedback regarding curriculum designing (p = 0.028) and students’ contribution to overcoming social issues (p = 0.05) in HEIs. As far as the focus of institutions on employability, entrepreneurship and skill development is concerned,  HEIs in Sirsa emerged to have a high skill development rate.

Originality/value:-  It is obvious that numerous authors had carried out multiple investigations from around the globe. They all offer recommendations for raising the standard of instruction in higher education institutions. Their research focused on topics including education, digital resources, and motivation at work. Examining the efficacy of high-quality education at institutions was made possible by all of these studies, which contributed to a better understanding of the idea. In light of the seven NAAC criteria, the current study examines how students perceive higher education to be of good quality.

Research Limitations: The study is limited to HEIs of only Two Districts of Haryana State in India.
