There are 35,000 colleges and 700 universities in India, where the current population is 1.25b. But, not a single University nor College earned a place in top 200 Global institutions!. Although the quality of education has been known popularly as weakest for many decades, but the future path definitely is not promising. Top global economy magazine "The Economist"(current issue 2015) concluded that the Indian education system is rotten. Global student capabilities survey company "Aspiring Minds" estimates that 70% of students would fail, if university exams were run properly, at par with US and Europe universities. And further the company says only 3% of the students are Employable without post-recruitment training. The economist magazine adds that poor quality is because of college owners utilize colleges as money laundry places. Will the new Prime Minister Modi reform the education system in the country? No one knows at this time. Will India find a place in top 200 global institutions by 2028, that's when India is believed to overtake China in population, is any one's guess!.
