Today’s “Word of the Day” is single-stream and it is an adjective meaning “relating to the higher education institutions which concentrate on just one discipline/subject (e.g. engineering and technology focused by IITs) whereas the multidisciplinary higher education institutions (e.g. Jawaharlal Nehru University) offer multiple disciplines/subjects like humanities and social sciences, pure and applied sciences and etc.”.
Example Sentence: A close study of the QS World University Rankings reveals that single-stream specialised higher education institutions HEIs such as the Indian Institutes of Technology and IISc have performed better than their multidisciplinary counterparts. Eight IITs (Delhi, Bombay, Madras, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Roorkee, Guwahati and Indore) are placed among the top 500 globally, in addition to IISc, Bangalore.
