Indian Government plan to allow foreign universities in India is a game changer
The Narendra Modi Government of India has taken steps to allow foreign universities to set up campuses in India – this will be a major game changer.
The Bill aims to set up a single higher education regulator that will replace the University Grants Commission (UGC) and the All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE).
The Bill carries a clause stating that the new Higher Education Commission can permit “highly-reputed foreign universities” to set up campuses in India.
Skills and education are part of the focus of my mission to India in November – we will report back on this game changer.

Very nice article summed up well. Today India needs to urgently traction Internatioalisation of Higher Education in India by way of entering into focused strategic academic alliances between selected Universities in India with known Universities from developed countries in the areas of R&D (academic), sharing new curriculums, train the lecturer courses, online and new job oriented courses at competitive pricing so that indian graduate get access to all new courses at affordable fee so that this will equip them to seek new employment avenues. Good initiative by the Central Government in India to invite foreign Universities to India.
