I just read an article (Will Foreign Universities Come to India?) in BusinessWeekOnline written by Nandini Lakshman. Here, Nandini has strongly argued in favor of allowing foreign universities to set up their campuses in India. Many people in India now have similar idea. They feel that Indian students are going abroad for higher education and this is causing the country a lot of foreign exchange. Secondly, if the foreign universities come to India then Indian students will have the opportunity to get world class education in their own cities. Nandini has mentioned another important aspect:
“Even Indian companies have started to complain and are hiring foreign talent for critical positions. "With our rigid boundaries in education, we are losing out enormously in a changing environment," says Indira Parekh, president of a soon-to-be-launched group called the Foundation for Liberal & Management Education in Pune.”
I agree with Nandini and I also wish that Indian government allows foreign universities to come to India. However, I have some reservations about it. I am going to write about it in my next post.
Read more information on Capella University, Kaplan University and University Of Maryland.
Agree. Allowing foreign universities to set up campuses in India would be a good move, however for the many Indian students who aspire to study abroad, Reliance World is offering a course on how to crack admissions in colleges abroad.
Called CACA (Cracking Admissions in Colleges Abroad), the course is designed by Ankit Fadia and Aditya Singh—both Stanford University students. Aditya Singh, in particular, holds the distinction of being admitted to every college he applied to.
The course is comprehensive and information-packed. From helping students select the right college to writing SOPs, it prepares students for all the challenges of securing admission in colleges in the US, UK, Australia, Canada, Singapore, etc.
More information about this course and admission can be had from any Reliance World outlet in India. If you can’t find a Reliance World outlet near you, visit www.relianceworld.in and use the drop down menu on the site to search for an outlet in your city.
