Will foreign universities in India be a gamechanger?

The Hindu  

Early in the New year, the University Grants Commission released a draft of the norms for foreign universities and educational institutions to establish their campuses in India. With the UGC also allowing dual degree programmes, students may be able to pursue two programmes, of which one could be from a foreign university in India. If foreign universities are going to offer the same programmes already available in India, it might cause a problem for institutions located in far-off or rural areas. With foreign institutions opening campuses in India, what will happen to such programmes, which have brought in substantial benefits to both partners in terms of student and faculty mobility, research options and cross-cultural experiences?
