How To Find Vacancies In Engineering Colleges?

Why shouldn't most Indian Engineering colleges (CS/IT department) be shutdown in favor of coursera / edx ?

• I have added IITs as topic only to draw opinions from the better college students apart from other people. Having taken many courses on coursera by now I strongly feel we do not need to keep CS/IT department in most of the colleges in India. ( I am a working professional with 6+ years experience. I didn't study CS/IT but I closely monitored the entire education process ) Government should legitimize coursera ( and similar platforms ), open centers where people can have access to computing and internet facilities etc. What can be the argument in favor of retaining existing education infrastructure ? To put some more arguments : 1. Most engineering colleges in India have acute shortage of competent faculty to teach Computer Science. On the other hand most teachers on Coursera are PhD in Computer Science and authorities in their subjects. Often they are from top 30 CS departments in the world. Students are un-necessarily bound in attending classes and wasting time where they are not learning but just going through motions. 2. The quality of research at IITs is decent (at best compared with rest of the world) and drops sharply and exponentially afterwards with rare flashes of brilliance from students and almost no contribution by faculty. Hence the arguments in favor or universities can be centre for incubation of research doesn't stick ( in my opinion  for most Indian colleges) 3. Most of CS/IT faculty in India cannot write code by itself. The method of teaching coding / programming is regressive. The teachers do not know which resource are to refer themselves. And they are completely 4. Even the brightest students are so unskilled after 4 years that they are desperate for jobs let aside earning a degree. You can often find them asking for career tips on how to "restart their career". 5. "Incompetent" middle management is often the most common hindrance for bright people. By connecting the best brain to best resources, optimal knowledge transfer can be reached. Also those interested in CS do not need to first go through un-necessary Physics and Chemistry which is not related. 6. Many companies will be directly willing to hire students from any part of India based on their Quora credentials. And if in some way the universities would also recognize the students, 7. Despite all the arguments in favor of living in hostels etc. the most important purpose of education is the content of the topics itself. 8. What is the value of a degree if at the end of it you can't pass 80% of the courses which people in foreign universities are studying. 9. CS/IT education is unique compared to other disciplines. 10. IT Skill development and mitigating hiring problems has become an industry due to poor colleges. On the lower end there are this computer learning centers in various parts of the city. And a plethora of online websites with little or no credibility. This is also leading many students confused. (NOTE: I have a fair understanding of quality of education / resources at IIT. In Indian context they are centers of excellence. My suggestion is that by freeing up resources government can focus on opening more centers of excellence than letting universities mushroom which are waste of 4 years for most students ) (NOTE: The IT department in NIT Jaipur had already been closed down due to lack of faculty. In mere numbers they are not able to run the CS department.)
