Globally, Indian education is being looked as the tool to empower young minds.
The state-of-the-art infrastructure, experienced faculty and affordable fees
make India the destination to head for, to propel your career with the right
education.
India is the second largest growing economy in the world and Indian businesses
are making their presence felt around the world. The success story of India has,
as its foundation, a practical and efficient educational system.
Mr. Jivesh Sachdev, Project Head – Indian Education Expo, said that Indian
education is today recognized for its high quality and diversity. “More than
310 universities and 16000 colleges are established in India, offering courses
in various areas like engineering, business management, medicine, economics,
statistics, aviation, journalism, hospitality and hotel management, film
production, politics, religion and many more”.
“Moreover since English is the most popular mode of teaching and living
expenses are reasonable, the Indian education system is reaching out to students
from different countries. Course fees are also very reasonable when compared to
the same courses offered in countries like USA, UK and those of the EU. Students
studying in Indian institutions have good local and international job prospects
due to the booming domestic economy and world-wide recognition of the courses.
Beyond education, India has a lot to offer in terms of culture, languages and
social setup”, he added.
Latest statistics compiled by the Home Ministry of India show that there were
over 30,000 foreign students enrolled in different courses in India in 2008. A
large number of students come to India from countries like Afghanistan,
Bangladesh, Bhutan, Fiji, Japan, Jordan, Kenya, Ghana, Lebanon, Madagascar,
Malaysia, Mauritius, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand and even the US. The
numbers are set to grow exponentially in the coming years as the government is
planning further steps like additional scholarships, curriculum upgrades and
improvements in infrastructure.
