Volume : I, Issue : X, November - 2011 HIGHER EDUCATION IN INDIA ARVIND DESHMUKH DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Higher Education in India has evolved in distinct and divergent streams with
each stream monitored by an apex body, indirectly controlled by the Ministry of Human
Resource Development. The 433 universities/ institutions are mostly funded by the state
governments. However, there are 40 important universities called Central universities,
which are maintained by the Union Government and because of relatively large funding,
they have an edge over the others. The engineering education and business schools are
monitored and accredited by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE)
while medical education is monitored and accredited by the Medical Council of India
(MCI). Like-wise, agriculture education and research is monitored by the Indian Council
for Agriculture Research. Apart from these, National Council for Teacher Education
(NCTE) controls all the teacher training institutions in the country. The country has
some ace engineering, management and medical education institutions which are
directly funded by the Ministry of Human Resource Development of the Union
Government. Admission to all professional education colleges is done through all-India
common admission tests of which the IIT-JEE, AIEEE, CAT and CPMT are the most
popular ones. Most of the institutions reserve a small percentage of seats for foreign
students. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : ARVIND DESHMUKH, (2011). HIGHER EDUCATION IN INDIA. Indian Streams Research Journal, Vol. I, Issue.
