India's strategy with regard to internationalisation of higher education should be based on its potential to be an effective aid to the mitigation of the basic problems facing this sector. So far, the liberalisation policies have induced foreign providers to focus only on certain technical and professional fields of study that can earn them good market returns. In contrast to these modes, it is better to design a strategy that taps foreign universities and institutes of acceptable quality to work together with Indian universities/ institutes to improve both access and quality. Augmenting and strengthening the capacity to produce more faculties in selected fields through such partnerships will help public universities play a more effective role in higher education.

Abstract


India's strategy with regard to internationalisation of higher education should be based on its potential to be an effective aid to the mitigation of the basic problems facing this sector. So far, the liberalisation policies have induced foreign providers to focus only on certain technical and professional fields of study that can earn them good market returns. In contrast to these modes, it is better to design a strategy that taps foreign universities and institutes of acceptable quality to work together with Indian universities/ institutes to improve both access and quality. Augmenting and strengthening the capacity to produce more faculties in selected fields through such partnerships will help public universities play a more effective role in higher education.
