Benefits of transnational education for Indian students
The HinduWith globalisation at an all-time high, more students are inclined to study abroad. This demand has resulted in fruitful partnerships between Indian institutions and global universities, fostering an ecosystem where credit transfers, and joint degree programmes and integrated degree courses are the norm. While a 2022-23 report by QS India said that more than 1.2 million Indian students are enrolled in international universities, a Times Higher Education report stated that, in 2022, the number of Indian students in the U.K. was second, after China. The U.S., the U.K., Canada and Australia continue to be the top choices for Indian students, while partnerships in countries like Italy, France, Belgium, Germany, and Singapore are also on the rise. Regulatory tailwinds Recognising TNE’s potential, the UGC and the All India Council for Technical Education have implemented supportive regulatory changes that have simplified approval processes, allowed international degrees to be delivered via partnerships, and promoted blended learning models.
