Foreign Universities in India

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 of opinion it will be so great if foreign universities come to our country. It will be helpful for enhancing the education of India as we know that we Indians prefer theoretical knowledge then practical if foreign universities will be there then it will be too easy to study practically and for learn more.

Hai friends.

I don't agree with this topic because comes to the foreign Universities in India more people like to foreign Universities. So change the teaching methods in India Universities. Developing our own country India.

I don't think we should encourage foreign universities in India, because India has proved itself in every field. But, the only drawback is way of teaching, they are theoretical, instead foreign are practical. So the change in way of teachings may bring about changes. SO, I DON'T THINK WE NEED A OXFORD UNIVERSITY IN INDIA, BUT WE HAVE TAKE OUR UNIVERSITIES TO THE LEVEL OF IT. !
