Press Release Body: RNCOS has recently added a new Market Research Report titled,
"Indian Education Services - A Hot Opportunity" to its report gallery. The Indian
education system is seeing an impressive growth since independence. From just 0.1
Million in 1947, enrollments in the country have grown to more than 11 Million in
2005-06. The education system in the country saw a revolution with the emergence of
a whole new class of education providers, including private institutes, distance
education providers, self-financing courses in public institutions and foreign
education providers, says RNCOS latest report.

Despite the fact that enrollment figure has been rising over the years in higher
education system, it varies widely across different states in India. These
differences are not only linked to variation in government expenditure on higher
education, but also to the per capita income, percentage of people below poverty
line and the extent of urbanization in different states. Generally, states with
higher enrollment in universities and colleges are those with higher ratio of urban
population and a lower percentage of population below poverty line.

The Indian education system has its both negatives and positives (like the lack of
quality institutions in India and a large student base). So both these factors are
working as bait to attract foreign universities. These universities are
collaborating with Indian institutes to make a confident foray into the country's
education system and to fill the voids that have been left by the Indian system.

The report intensively examines the present trends and future prospects of the
education services in India. The foci of the report are on the Indian education
system, the position of government and private institutions, Indian landscape for
foreign universities/institutes, and entry and operation regulations for foreign
universities, among other parameters.

Other Key Findings of the Report

- In future, the number of government and private aided universities and colleges is
not likely to show any significant increase while the private unaided higher
education institutions are showing signs of positive growth.
- Nearly 30% students in higher education institutions during 2005-06 were enrolled
in the private unaided institutions, which do not receive any grants from the
government.
- As India has all the resources and potential to become a regional hub, therefore
an increasing number of students from neighboring countries will choose the country
as their preferred destination for higher education.
- Foreign universities can leverage the opportunity of offering contextual courses
as Indian universities/institutions are lacking in this particular domain.
