Campuses will be opened in Jaipur, Kanpur, Bhopal, Indore and other cities
London (England) – Britain’s top universities, including Oxford and Cambridge, will open campuses in India’s tier-2 cities and metros. The University of Southampton is leading the charge, as its campus in Delhi will start operations from the next academic session. Britain has announced plans to establish campuses for 24 British universities, including prestigious institutions like Oxford and Cambridge, in various tier-2 cities across the country. Cities like Jaipur, Bhopal, Patna, Kanpur, and Indore have been selected to host these campuses over the next five years.
The University of Southampton is leading the charge, having just received its license last week. Its campus in Delhi will start operations from the next academic session, with admissions anticipated to start soon. Several other universities are expected to reveal their campus plans by next month.
It is also known that Oxford, Cambridge and Manchester universities will conduct joint research with IIT. According to Manchester University Vice President Stephen Flint, Britain’s National Graphene Institute will conduct research on semiconductors with the Indian Institute of Science Bangalore.
Indian students can get higher education at half the cost
Indian students will be able to earn a British university degree at half the cost, with fees ranging from Rs 10-15 lakh per year, compared to Rs 25-30 lakh per year in Britain as per the reports. Two undergraduate-level courses have been launched, with a target of registering 1,000 Indian students initially. This fee is comparable to that of many private universities in India, making it a more accessible option for students.
Editorial PerspectiveIn the past, students from all over the world used to come to study in the universities of Nalanda and Takshashila. Even after 77 years of India’s independence, foreign universities have to enter India for quality education, this is a failure of all party rulers |
