Study in India – How Sri Lankans can select Universities and courses?

November 13, 2014 By Hiran 6 Comments

    manipal university student research forumA large number of Sri Lankan students gain admission to Indian Universities every year, for Undergraduate and Postgraduate studies. Proximity, cultural linkages and world class education at comparatively low costs have been the major incentives for Sri Lankan students to study in India. India also provides a large number of full-time scholarships in various disciplines at Undergraduate, Postgraduate and Doctoral level courses, administered through the IHC, in collaboration with Ministry of HE & Highways, Sri Lanka.

    Indian High Commissioner in Sri Lanka (2013) said the education sector in India was growing at a rapid pace with nearly 6% of GDP being invested in this sector, out of which 50 percent contribution came from the private sector.

    Some Sri Lankans choose to study in India, they select colleges in Bangalore and other states for Science and medical education. These students and their parents do not know the academic standards of those but they select them because local agents promote them. How can you select Indian Universities and colleges?


    Higher Education System in India

    Central Government is responsible for major policy relating to higher education in the country. It provides grants to the UGC and establishes central universities in the country. Presently there are sixteen (18) Central Universities in the country.

    State Governments are responsible for establishment of State Universities and colleges. There are about 200 universities and 13,000 colleges in the country, and about 5 million students apply for these colleges.

    For details please refer Department of Higher Education web site of the Government of Inda.
