Isn't the whole point of consulting to win more work? You get promoted and paid because you have money coming in, so it makes sense to do what you can to keep winning more work (i.e. sales, billable hours and reputation).
You shouldn't be working for a consulting firm if you don't want to focus on those things.
It's a pretty well-known fact in Indian universities than anyone even a teeny bit serious about computers should never step foot in consulting companies (unless you are leading a green field project).
If the institution implicitly understands its own incompetence (that they will explain away as "we just can't find good developers"), they know they can't win repeat contracts, so they optimize for milking the few that they do get.
