Setting up of an educational institution is not easy and requires a lot of regulatory formalities to be completed before opening and during its operations. If it is shut down within initial phase it is painful as well as legally difficult to close it, especially in India. It has been observed that a significant number of academic institutions of technical higher education have been shut down by the promoters due to lack of financial viability, lack of knowledge of about the business, poor management, and other social factors. The present study is an attempt to find out the reasons of mass failure of many technical higher education institutions and to suggest a unique financing model in order to ensure the quality of education and long-term benefit for the promoters by maintaining financial discipline.

Abstract. The purpose of the research is to determine government measures to form a mechanism toensure the formation of the quality of education in higher education institutions. Methods. In the course ofthe research, general scientific methods and approaches, a systematic approach, general logical researchmethods (analysis, synthesis, generalization, comparison) were used. Results. The article discusses key studies of the development of education in the country; in particular, attention paid to the processes of stateregulation of the activities of higher education institutions. On the basis of theoretical and methodologicalanalysis, a general scheme of the mechanism of state regulation of higher education is proposed, which consists of subject-objective, target, instrumental and information-analytical components. It was determined thatthe stimulation of educational institutions to continuously improve the quality and availability of educationalservices in accordance with the future needs of the labor market and the economy, the production of newservices occurs through partial regulation of these processes by the state. It has been proved that comprehensive legal, organizational, resource, information support for the development of the economy, employmentand social infrastructure capable of realizing the rights of education and development of the population, aswell as meeting the needs of various industries in qualified personnel, stimulating the demographic reproduction of the population directly depends on the quality of education in country, which is the basis for theformation of professional skills of each specialist. Practical meaning. Based on the analysis of the scientificworks of domestic scientists, as well as the practice of one of the universities, a system of indicators and keymeasures of the external system for ensuring the quality of education have been determined. Most educationalinstitutions in the country can use it by implementing in their practice those indicators to which this or thatinstitution responds. Prospects for further research.

At the present stage of development of society, institutions of higher education (HEI) strive to occupy stable ranking positions among competitors at the national and global levels. Increasing competition in the field of education has led to the creation of mechanisms for assessing the activities of educational institutions. The assessment of the activities of the HEI should be carried out both at the state level and by independent expert institutions, taking into account the index of academic integrity, the index of the academic reputation of the HEI, the index of employers' satisfaction with university graduates, the achievements of the educational institution, the wishes of students, scientific, scientific and pedagogical workers. Such monitoring is carried out to assure students, administration and the state that the given HEI has a high level of expert assessment. In world practice, independent organizations are engaged in the development and implementation of methods for independent assessment of the quality of education, in particular the ratings of educational institutions, using the results of international comparative research in the field of education. For example, such information holdings, with the help of which world university rankings are formed: THE World University Rankings (an annual publication of university rankings according to the Times Higher Education magazine), QS World University Rankings (a global study and the accompanying ranking of the best higher educational institutions of world significance in terms of their achievements in the field of education and science Calculated according to the methodology of the British consulting company Quacquarelli Symonds (QS), The Academic Ranking of World Universities (affiliated with the Institute of Higher Education, Shanghai Jiaotong University). The indicator of high competitiveness of the HEI is confirmed by joining the international ranking and occupying positions close to the world's leading universities. The methodology for ranking holdings consists in calculating a rating by indicators that assess key criteria. Each indicator has its own percentage of the total score. These rating systems make a significant contribution to the quality of education in countries. With the help of these information holdings, the university can show its strengths in order to have a high rate of competitiveness among the HEIs and attract the attention of prospective students, their parents, scientific and pedagogical workers, teachers and employers.

AbstractDeveloping an academic career can be exciting, rewarding and stimulating. It can also be challenging, disheartening, and highly insecure. Results from a survey of Animal Studies (AS) scholars identifies reasons why pursuing a career in AS might generate additional challenges, over and above those experienced by academics generally. For example, 44 percent of respondents stated that in their view, undertaking research in AS “creates challenges for an academic career.” This is compared to just 16 percent who thought that it is an advantage. Yet despite the challenges, there is much that is positive about AS. Participants described being in “dialogue with clever colleagues,” viewed their work as “totally engaging,” and reported feeling “morally useful.” This in turn affords AS scholars an authenticity that may be of long-term benefit in the competitive and constantly transforming world of higher education.
