India has taken a step towards allowing leading
foreign universities such as Yale, Oxford and Stanford to set up campuses and award degrees as part of an overhaul of the South Asian nation’s higher education.
Regulator the University Grants Commission unveiled a draft legislation for public feedback that seeks to facilitate entry and operation of overseas institutions in the country for the first time. The local campus can decide on admission criteria for domestic and foreign students, fee structure and scholarship, according to the draft.
PM Narendra Modi’s government is pushing to
overhaul the country’s education sector to enable Indian students to make India an attractive global study destination.
