Abroad, understandably, the reason given is that the professors are mostly busy towards research work and grants. Therefore the teaching may not be upto par. However that's not the case in India, since hardly anyone publishes frequently or in a high quality manner. So if they're not researching or teaching, then what are they doing ?
TLDR; Why do Indian professors s*k at teaching? Genuine answers please.
Paid horrendously low salaries so doesn’t attract good talent.
LLBs not allowed to teach. Many people with good industry experience who want to teach don’t have LLMs.
College campuses are usually far from the city.
2. As far as I know, professors are still paid lakh per month, not a "rich" lifestyle but definitely a comfortable one. Moreover, everyone entering the profession knows that they won't be paid in crores.
3. Why don't universities allow industry experience people to atleast teach clinical subjects ? Like professor of practice.
4. What does that have to do with quality of teaching?
Additionally, if a faculty is appointed as Warden, Dean, Proctor, ICC member, or Controller of Examination, then their work increases manifold as they have to work for these offices. For example, the Dean Academics is required to approve course outline for every single course taught in the university, Proctor is required to conduct disciplinary proceedings, Controller of Examination need to plan for regular exams, exemption exams, back exams etc.
