India’s Ministry of Human Resource Development has submitted proposals to the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) and the Department of Economic Affairs (DEA) to permit foreign universities to open their campuses in the country without the need for a local partner.
The ministry has put forward the proposal that foreign universities should be permitted to enter India as companies under the new Companies Act. The government is empowered to introduce rules under the Universities Grants Commissions (UGC) Act in order to finalize the UGC (Established and Operation of Campuses of Foreign Educational Institutions) Rules, which will enable foreign universities to set up campuses in India and award foreign degrees. Parliament’s slow progress relating to the passing of the Foreign Educational Institutions (Regulation and Entry and Operations) Bill 2010 and other pending bills has been a catalyst for this move.
