Despite the fact that enrollment figure has been rising over the years in higher education system, it varies widely across different states in India. These differences are not only linked to variation in government expenditure on higher education, but also to the per capita income, percentage of people below poverty line and the extent of urbanization in different states. Generally, states with higher enrollment in universities and colleges are those with higher ratio of urban population and a lower percentage of population below poverty line.
The Indian education system has its both negatives and positives (like the lack of quality institutions in India and a large student base). So both these factors are working as bait to attract foreign universities. These universities are collaborating with Indian institutes to make a confident foray into the country’s education system and to fill the voids that have been left by the Indian system.
