In order to promote India’s higher education global outreach, the Centre has asked all Indian universities to open international affairs wings that could also help improve their global rankings.
The plan is aimed at making campuses heterogeneous (with both domestic and foreign students and faculties) bringing extra revenue and improving cooperation between Indian varsities and top universities in other countries.
“Establishment of an office of international affairs in each university will be an integral part of internationalization of higher education in India,” higher education regulator University Grants Commission said.
