Foreign Universities in India

The backwardness that the UGC/AICTE is demonstrating in this regard is pathetic. I mean, forget how much employment/FDI this would generate - students would have access to a quality education - and the competing public/private Indian universities would be forced to redefine their standards in order to retain students. It's a win-win situation.

I am really not satisfied with the universities of foreign countries in India this is because once the foreign universities takes place in India then they may hamper to Indian traditions as well as the students may not be interest to do job in our country. So the teaching style must be changed.

Having foreign universities in India will help our students get the quality education in the home country itself. On the other hand the Indian universities will be compelled to increase their level. The research facilities will be provided to the students interested.

People who are recruited in foreign universities are the indians. India is filled with so many great minds that if they get together they would really contribute to the development of the nation rather than moving towards foreign to seek jobs.

Allowing entry of foreign universities may open the floodgates for poor quality institutions to enter India and take unfair advantage of students. Top reputed universities would be cautious about their brand value for 2 reasons :

1. Govt is not in a position to provide any financial incentives. Remember that there are many foreign institutions in the Gulf only because the host country could provide financial support to the institutions. It makes no sense for an institution to be set up unless there are any financial incentives laid out.

2. The universities cannot ensure complete autonomy from sociopolitical influences.

Preferred route for good universities to establish themselves in India would be through collaborations with the local institutions (for eg. IIM B has a collaborative global executive program with INSEAD and McGill). What India needs is not a set of elite institutions because India already has a fair share of them and those who can pay to enter the foreign institutions can travel abroad for their education. I think vocational training systems is possibly where India needs foreign education (eg. Healthcare, construction etc) where the growth has been extremely slow due to neglect. The conclusion is that India may need foreign education providers, but in a different form and in a different area than what is being perceived as of now.

Although bringing foreign universities in India could be a panacea for the ailing Indian education system, but one have to consider this from their side. Nobody is willing to invest unless he/she is able to garnish huge profits. Western governments grant huge monetary support to universities so that they can admit meritorious students on scholarship basis. Whereas India with its education spending being nearly 3% of the GDP lacks behind with considerable difference. Good universities would only enter if Indian government provide required support to them else they would charge huge fees from the students. Indian universities as well will try to charge huge fees so as to remain competitive. This would result in steep rise in education cost in our country, which would further alienate poor from education. Rather the need of the hour is to increase the quality of already established universities. Government can take steps to persuade universities for this, for example, it can fabricate a plan according to which the grant given to a university would be proportional to research papers it publishes.

I accept all of your opinion. In my point of view, we shouldn't encourage the foreign education because India education style is the best one.

Why I am saying this line because so many people studying in our country but flying abroad to their own commitments. Without the proper education and needs whether they are flying abroad?

So I conclude that Indian education style is the best one. Proud to be an Indian.

In my opinion its good to have the foreign universities in India why because the way of teaching of foreign universities is entirely different from India. They are concentrating on the practical knowledge rather than theoretical knowledge this is the reason why our students are unable to catch up the corporate world requirements. This creates competency among our universities. Some of the poor people may get a chance to study at lower expenses at global facilities.

In my point of view it's good. Because most of the people going to foreign for study, in foreign there are multiple resources are available. Different technology and individual training etc. After finishing their study they search job and settle over there. So every year we loss lot of people. If foreign university come to India means why are they go there?

In my opinion it is very bad for our country that we should to have foreign universities because in India there are lot more talented persons. If foreign universities come here than they will use our intelligence in their countries. Then think friends what will be future of India. They give more salary to our india's talented person. So it's bad for our country because every person want to earn more money. So they will like to work in foreign. Like this way only untalented person will work in India so it is very bad.
