It is very disappointing to see that attraction towards engineering colleges among students of India is declining.  Management education seems to promise more to the students. National newspapers of India have given space to  headlines sharing closure and shut down of many private institutions and colleges. This situation needs serious  thought. Are all the engineering and management institutions fairing bad in terms of admissions or some are more  insecure than others? Market situations, pressures of globalization, competition cannot be controlled however,  what can be nurtured well is our existing set of students so that their performance and results speaks for itself and  so does their behaviour. Engineering and management institutions boast a lot about collaboration with foreign  universities from developed countries however; one thing to learn from these foreign universities is their optimum  level of faculty-student relationship as well as classroom environment that prevails in their institutions. This research  paper, primarily based on primary research conducted in private institutions imparting engineering and management  education, recommends a need to focus on optimum faculty-student rapport and wise use of technology to gain  disciplined classroom environment.
