Deemed or doomed?

摘要

Recent debate on deemed university status to national laboratories or granting degrees to researchers has created an environment of mutual suspicion. It is a kind of parallel-processing claiming more and more. Though only universities recognized by the UGC are authorized to grant a degree, the privilege extended to some national laboratories to grant degrees has brought back traditional collision between teachers and scientists. Professionalism in universities and national laboratories has a different meaning. In the former, it is more like preparing educated youth to face life.
