Education in India
India has often been linked with phenomenon such as ‘brain drain’ and has been seen as a country where most of the students go internationally to pursue studies. However, in recent years this outlook has changed and students from around the globe are considering India as a preferred choice for pursuing higher education. Indeed, as per a report published in 2012 by the Institute of International education, India ranks 11th in terms of the most popular choice among US students abroad.
With the tag of second largest populated country in world (after china), and a fast paced and even-more potent economy, it is not surprising that India’s education system has seen a paradigm shift in the last few decades to cater to the changing educational needs.
Such being the scenario, India has claimed to be one of the largest higher education systems in the world and perhaps one of the most complicated, to the outsiders. There are thousands of universities and colleges, catering to different specialisations and origins, some state-run, others privately aided.
Universities in India
India is well known for the quality education it provides in Engineering and Technology, Medical Studies, and Law. There are currently 16 Indian Institute of Technology (IITs), in India and many other private engineering institutes such as Sharda University that imparts quality education. Sharda University, approved by UGC, has been a popular choice among the students of Delhi and NCR, who desire for international standards in education. With its campus spread across 63 acres, it proudly acclaims to be the only university with multiple-disciplines, facilitating higher education in disciplines such as Engineering, MBA and law.
Besides, being awarded with ”Asia’s Most Promising Brand” in education by World Consulting and Research Corporation, the university also holds the award for "Emerging Law College of the Year".
Among others, the universities of Delhi, Pune, Calcutta and Mumbai also hold the title of the highest performing universities in the QS World University Rankings.
