The Indian higher education is witnessing a phase of rapid growth in terms of number of new institutions offering professional courses. The industry on the other hand finds large percentage of graduate's unemployable. The students are not getting a fair return on their investment in higher education. The private and public sector institutions have ignored the crucial input of good quality faculty required for developing the necessary skills in young students to meet the needs of the industry for employability and entrepreneurship. The study evaluates the teaching effectiveness in public and private universities. A survey design was used for the study. Private and public universities in northern part of India were selected for the study. The data was collected through questionnaire. The data was analyzed with the help of mean and principal component factor analysis using SPSS. Three factors were extracted from factor analysis. The factors were pedagogy, accountability and assessment. There was no significant difference between the teaching effectiveness of private and public universities. The faculties were satisfied with pedagogy, moderately satisfied with accountability. The results showed that faculties in both private and public universities were not satisfied with the assessment strategy. The assessment strategies must change to meet the current socio economic needs.
