Foreign Universities in India: an idea whose time has to come

The Deputy Director, International Institute of Higher Education, Research and Capacity Building, OP Jindal Global University, Sonipat, Haryana, pointed out that there a little over 14 lakh teachers in India. This makes it almost 1,900 teachers per university. For a UGC recommended faculty-student ratio of 1:12, we should be having almost 3,800 teachers. Universities do not have half their teachers.….The colleges have limited resources compelling a Darwinian fight between competing aspirants. For a cut-off beyond 95% and acceptance rates of less than 2%, the majority of intelligent students are forced to resign to poor quality education in other schools (those who can afford, go abroad). Many of these bright minds are dimmed before they can shine…..We are left with no other option then but to invite reputed foreign universities.

CMEPEDIA supports those dedicated to teaching by providing them quality controlled content. Institutes can plan modules in the portfolio of their students and follow their progress. A major time saver for faculty.
