Karnataka’s roadmap for a knowledge society envisages the inclusion, expansion, and excellence of
institutions for creation, dissemination, and application of knowledge in education, health, agriculture,
urban development, and rural development (Karnataka Knowledge Commission, 2011). To traverse the
roadmap the state will need to map the system’s aspirations, its current state, determine the gaps
between the two, and develop strategies to bridge the gap. The objectives of this study are to:
1. Map the stated aspirations and ground reality of Karnataka’s Higher Education System; and
2. Determine and analyze the gaps between the two.
We use an ontological framework (Ramaprasad 2011) to map the state-of-the-aspiration and the stateof-
the-practice of the system. The aspiration of each institution was inferred from their vision
statements, mission statements, objectives, Vice Chancellor’s speeches and similar documents available
on the website of the institutions. The data for mapping the state-of-the-practice were collected from a
number of institutional and external sources. The internal sources of data were the institution’s annual
reports, IQAC (Internal Quality Assurance Cell) reports, AQAR (Annual Quality Assurance Reports)
reports, magazines, brochures, orientation program material, convocation speeches, annual budgets,
and newsletters. The external sources of data were the UGC (University Grants Commission), NAAC
(National Assessment and Accreditation Council), rankings and surveys, selective online portals, ICSSR
(Indian Council for Social Science Research), AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education), MCI
(Medical Council of India), Association of Indian Universities, and NBA (National Board of Accreditation)
established by AICTE
