QUALITY ASSESSMENT IN HIGHER EDUCATION: THE STUDENTS’ VIEWPOINT

This study attempts to assess students’ perceptions of the quality of higher education.  For this research, under-graduate and post-graduate students from Faculty of Arts, Science and Commerce of the University of Rajasthan and its constituent colleges were taken under study. The primary data was collected through a structured questionnaire designed using a five-point Likert scale. The validity and reliability of this questionnaire have been duly tested. One way ANOVA using IBM SPSS has been computed to test the hypotheses under study. Results indicate that students from Faculty of Arts, Science and Commerce have a similar perception about the quality of higher education in the University of Rajasthan and its constituent colleges.  Despite potential improvements being done in the recent past by the University of Rajasthan to uplift the quality of higher education, the results of this research reflect the significant scope of improvements in curriculum, support for student progression and resources & technology.
