Education in top Indian Universities
India has traditionally been seen as a country that sends rather than receives international students, but a growing number of students from elsewhere are now choosing to study in India. Indeed, the 2015 Open Doors report from the Institute of International Education found that India is the 12th most popular country for US students abroad.
There are twenty universities under national jurisdiction in India and more than 215 state-run universities. In addition, there are more than 16.000 colleges either preparing students for university or offering vocational training.
The focus of Indian university education lies on scientific research and engineering. Especially IT subjects are booming as the number of graduates barely supplies the demand of the Indian economy. The most famous institutes are the Indian Institutes of Technology. They are highly accredited worldwide and offer the best education in technological fields in India.
If you want to study either technology or also management, you should choose one of the twenty national universities instead of the state-run institutes. Their funding is a lot better and they are connected to major Indian companies.
Since IT and engineering are highly popular fields of study, places in these subjects are limited. On the other hand, other subjects have trouble acquiring qualified students. If you plan on studying something other than software development and engineering, you are normally free to choose the best Indian university for yourself.
