Indian Education Services - A Hot Opportunity

Post liberalization-era has witnessed continuous development and improvement in the Indian higher education system. The number of universities has grown manifold and a similar trend has also been witnessed in the number of student enrollments (grown to ~ 14 Million) in the higher education. Although the country has one of the largest higher education systems in the world, our recently updated analytical study “Indian Education Services - A Hot Opportunity” finds that there remains high growth potential in the development of higher education system in India.

Our analysis of current higher education infrastructure states that India has over 400 universities and more than 20,000 colleges serving the current student base. We have found that if the country wishes to achieve its target of getting 21 Million students enrolled for higher education annually by 2012, it will require huge investments for the development of its higher education infrastructure.

Our thorough analysis of the higher education professional courses reveals that demand for technical courses such as non-IT engineering will boom in near future. Besides this, the report identifies that Indian higher education sector offers considerable opportunities for foreign universities across the world to get into the rapidly evolving higher education sector in the country.

“Indian Education Services - A Hot Opportunity” provides in-depth research and rational analysis on the current status of the higher education system in India. The report provides overview of the number of universities, technical education institutions and colleges available in the country. Besides this, our report gives prudent analysis on the type of courses that will remain in high demand over the next few years. Alongside this, the report also briefs about the regions which are most appropriate for setting up new institutes in the country.

The report provides coherent analysis of the need for opening up of universities (particularly foreign) in the country over the next few years. In this regard, the report gives the entry and operation regulations for foreign universities/institutions providing technical education in India.
