The Ministry of Education’s post highlighting an 11.28% rise in higher education funding for FY 2026–27 under the Centre’s “12 Years of Governance” campaign sparked mixed reactions on X. While the government showcased increased allocations for IITs, IIMs, and NITs, users questioned its impact on quality, inflation-adjusted growth, and job creation. Critics argued that funding alone is insufficient without reforms, while others called for broader focus on state universities and improved education outcomes.
