50 foreign varsities interested to set up campus in India

Whenever any sector of the economy is opened up there is a sense of insecurity that the foreign / MNC companies are going to become a threat to domestic companies. But it has not really happened. Our companies have withstood the competition well. Rather it's the foreign companies in some case (e.g. auto industry) that had to eat the humble pie. So why should we be overly worried about foreign universities posing a threat to local universities. More than a threat it could be a challenge to the local universities.

They can never be a threat to any of the Indian universities they will just boost the quality of education in India. We still have a large number of students just dropping because they don't get admission to a good college or they can't qualify for the course they are willing to opt.

the induction of foreign university in india can bring about  a revolution in the field of education.As management guru Mr.Prahlad has said the growth in any industry is driven by excitement and enthusiasm ,this sort of govt. act if passed ,would bring about a positive change in the perception of indians towards education.People will flock in for higher eduction as there is a large pool of indian youth who dont get admission into university for there are very few seats in the avalable courses.Like for example there are 29seats in medical course at shimla university.According to me the entry of foreign university is a  trementous opportunity  that is knocking at our door and we should rather grab it.I feel that we will grow exonentially going forward if this opening of foreign university gets through.

If these universities come down to India the we can have more collaboration and student exchange program so that we will have more global exposure :)
