Top US Universities plan to open India campus

Jan. 20, 2012 - PRLog -- Over a dozen of America's top universities & business schools are looking to enter India and offer their courses to India's quality education seeking students.

"India has a huge demand for quality education and a practically designed undergraduate and post graduate courses. Much talk has been made in the global arena about lack of practical education system even at postgraduate level except for a handful of universities in which very few people can get through." said Atul Khekade, Founding Partner of Netz capital which is assisting the US universities and India's HNIs for setting up the India Campus.

"The main challenge is defining the depth of partnership. Resources such as adequate land are available. Universities in the US have their coursework and curriculum which will be offered through India campus. Local Faculty development will be a key task as foreign universities will also offer their visiting Faculty to the campus in India. The financial closure is much easier to attain when the university is one of the top ranked ones. Indian school of Business was formed with tie up with Top universities such as Wharton, Kellogg, MIT and London Business School."

"Emerging markets are the future and we surely want to have a presence in a country like India. We  are looking to establish a centre of excellence for Retail and Fine Arts." said Vice President at the leading university in US.

"There are over 16,000 colleges in India with more than 2 million students. Over 1 Lac students now go to US every year to pursue higher studies. If quality US universities enter India, more students will get opportunity to get quality education and hence will ensure India's great future."  said Mr. Ashish Padhye, a leading researcher in education field in India.
