The Indian higher education system is one of the largest higher education systems in the world. While we are discussing our need for more universities in the country to cater to the ever-growing needs of the population, the bigger question that remains is the acute shortage of faculty members in most universities. With this deficiency arises a bigger challenge – taking quality of education to new heights. Based on the data and reviews, we rate the top private and deemed universities under five broad categories of Infrastructure, Academic Reputation, Academic Excellence, Faculty and International Exposure.
Over the past few years, there has been an immense growth in the number of private universities being set up in the country. Today, there are total of 159 private universities according to UGC and 130 deemed universities according to MHRD. With a series of private university bills pending in different states of India, the number is only expected to grow. Can these universities help India make a mark in the Top 100 World Universities soon?
