Abstract

Technical institutions play an important and critical role in the development of the nation‘s growth in the field of science and technology. The performance of the technical institutes are majorly influenced by the intellectual capital of that institute, in this regard the retention of the intellectuals is a challenging task for the educational institute managements. It is widely known that technical institutes are severely influenced by shortage of intellectuals (faculty) because of various parameters, primarily due to recent increases in enhanced student enrolments. Starting of new courses in the existing institutes, starting new institutes and faculty retirements etc., are also considered among the primary reasons. Technical institute staffing problems are not primarily due to shortage in intellectuals/teacher shortages, in the sense insufficient availability of qualified teachers. Rather, technical institute staffing problems are primarily due to a “revolving door” - where large number of qualified teachers departs their jobs for reasons other than retirement. The present study emphasizes on the review of available literature on talent retention in technical education institutions in India during 1990–2017.
