Introduction
Indian educational system has been undergoing a paradigm shift in the recent past. India has the worlds second largest post-secondary student population of around 14 million. It is expected that this number will double over the next 10 years. India has over 500 universities and 25,000 colleges, and yet the gross enrollment ratio (GER) is low with only 15 per hundred accessing higher education. India is far behind the developed countries' average of 45 per cent. The Government of India has set a GER target of 30 per cent by 2020 and for that to be achieved, the number of universities and colleges will have to be increased many fold while enhancing the quality of existing institutions.. Faced with a growing demand for post secondary education and limited resources, India is looking towards private sector and Foreign universities to bridge the projected gap. The private sector has been given the opportunity to take initiative in developing infrastructure for higher education in the country. India is a member of the WTO and has now become a signatory to the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS), thereby enabling high quality educational services to be offered in India from around the world. Further, the Indian economy is transforming into an international powerhouse requiring India to have the best possible educational opportunities for its citizens. Indian students are interested in degrees, diplomas, and certificates offered by Foreign universities at the undergraduate and graduate levels because of the excellent career prospects they offer. This demand is reflected by the tens of thousands of students going to the USA, Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand and other countries every year for higher education. Academic collaborations promote universal and equitable access to education, and develop in students the knowledge, confidence, and requisite skills to become lifelong learners and economic competitors in a dynamic global marketplace. Today, success is determined by access to knowledge. Education is no longer an option it is a mandate for survival. An important mission of the Indus Foundation is to galvanize high-impact academic collaborations between educational entities in Foreign countries on the one hand and those in India on the other. The Foundation acts as an internationally recognized support system for 21st Century education for bridging the education divide. The Foundation recognizes that collaborative research programs, undergraduate and graduate programs, twinning and transfer programs, professional development programs, distance education programs, faculty exchange programs, student exchange programs, partnership programs, study abroad in India programs, vocational education programs, and other academic partnerships between Foreign universities and Indian institutions are extremely useful in meeting the rapidly growing Indian educational needs. These programs contribute to the goal of preparing students to compete in the global economy. The staff of the Foundation has significant knowledge of the Indian and Foreign educational systems. Over the years, the staff has developed extensive contacts with a wide array of accredited Indian institutions and Foreign universities. The Indus Foundation assists Indian students in meeting their educational objectives. The Foundation is an educational organization dedicated to the promotion of higher education for the growing student population of India. Further, the Foundation is committed to assisting Indian students for study in good Indian and foreign institutions. The motto of the Foundation is: Educational Excellence Without Borders. Over the years, the Foundation has emerged as the leading counselor of Indian students for study in Indian institutions and foreign universities. The Foundation is well established in India for over 15 years, with its own extensive network of offices spread across the country It assists Indian institutions in recruiting and enrolling well-qualified and financially able students.. The Foundation offers an efficient and cost-effective means of interaction between Indian Institutions and foreign universities through the specially designed Indo-Global Education Summit 2011. Activities during the Summit include presentations by foreign and Indian participants, interactions between Indian institutions and foreign universities for academic collaborations, and guidance of Indian students for study in India and abroad. The Summit will be a fastpaced, well-designed program, providing Indian Institutions with valuable exposure to a large number of foreign universities from around the world. The Summit will help Indian Institutions achieve excellent results in terms of academic collaborations and recruitment of students. Indian student community will be able to access a wide array of opportunities for study in India and abroad.
MESSAGE OF DR. KAPIL SIBAL, Minister of Human Resource Development, Government of India, New Delhi Globalization, together with information technology is driving a revolution in the realm of work, production of goods and services, relations among nations and even local communities. No field of human activity is immune from the effects of this revolution, which is changing the very fundamentals of human relations and social life. Two of the main drivers of globalization are information and innovation, and they, in turn, are highly knowledge intensive. The outcome is that globalization increases the demand for education, especially university education, and this increases pressure on the whole system for higher quality schooling. Presently the Gross Enrolment Ratio in higher education is around 15%; we seek to raise it to at least 30% by 2020, which in real terms means tripling of the enrolment in the tertiary education. The Ministry of Human Resource Development firmly subscribe to the view of Educational Excellence Without Borders, the byline of the Indus Foundation. I am pleased to learn that the Indus Foundation, is organizing the Indo-Global Education Summit on Academic Collaborations and Student Enrollment. My best wishes to Indus for a very meaningful Indo-Global Education Summit.

Please know how much we at the West Virginia University Institute of Technology appreciated the opportunity to be represented at the Indo-American Education Summit last November. To those of you responsible for the logistical matters, please accept my heartfelt thanks for the very smoothly managed event and the overall very fine experience. I have so many vivid memories it is hard to select the most meaningful; however, among the top of my recollections - as of this moment - are the highly accomplished chief guests, the sincerity of everyone with whom I worked, and the opportunities for future relationships with Indian professionals and students alike. Please express my thanks to Mrs. Anomolu for her very thoughtful hospitality. The participation by Indian delegates and students was quite inspirational Dr. Pamela S. Cutright, Special Assistant to the Campus Provos, WVU Institute of Technology It has been a while since we have returned to the US and I wanted to drop you a note.

Since then we have established communications with a number of institutions and are considering a number of collaboration opportunities. Please convey our thanks to your staff but in particular to your family who hosted us in Hyderabad. Dr. Keya Sadeghipour, Dean, Temple University College of Engineering

Academic Collaborations
Rationale for Academic Collaborations
India is rushing headlong toward economic success and modernization, counting on high-tech industries such as information technology and biotechnology to propel the nation to prosperity. Unfortunately, its weak higher education sector constitutes the Achilles' Heel of this strategy. Its investment so far in higher education has yielded neither world-class research nor very many highly trained scholars, scientists, or managers to sustain high-tech development. India's main competitor especially China is investing in large and differentiated higher education systems. China is providing access to large numbers of students at the bottom of the academic system while at the same time building some research-based universities that are able to compete with the world's best institutions. The recent London Times Higher Education Supplement ranking of the world's top 200 universities included three in China, three in Hong Kong, three in South Korea, one in Taiwan, and one in India (an Indian Institute of Technology at number 41 the specific campus was not specified). These countries are positioning themselves for leadership in the knowledgebased economies of the coming era. There was a time when countries like India could achieve economic success with cheap labor and lowtech manufacturing. Low wages still help, but contemporary large-scale development requires a sophisticated and at least partly knowledge-based economy. India has chosen that path, but finds a major stumbling block in its university system. India has significant advantages in the 21st century knowledge race. It has a large higher education sector the second largest in the world in student numbers, after China. It uses English as a primary language of higher education and research. It has a long academic tradition. Academic freedom is respected. There are a small number of high quality institutions, departments, and centers that can form the basis of quality sector in higher education. Yet the weaknesses far outweigh the strengths. India educates approximately 14 per cent of its young people in higher education compared with more than 50 percent in the major industrialized countries and 25 per cent in China. Almost all of the world's academic systems resemble a pyramid, with a small high quality tier at the top and a massive sector at the bottom. At present, the world-class institutions are mainly limited to the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) and perhaps a few others such as the All India Institute of Medical Sciences and the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research. These institutions, combined, enroll well under 0.5 per cent of the student population. Even the small top tier of higher education faces serious problems. Many IIT graduates, well trained in technology, have chosen not to contribute their skills to the burgeoning technology sector in India. Perhaps half leave the country immediately upon graduation to pursue advanced study abroad and most do not return. A stunning 86 per cent of students in science and technology fields from India who obtain degrees in the United States do not return home immediately following their study. A corps of dedicated and able teachers work at the IITs and IIMs, but the lure of jobs abroad and in the private sector makes it increasingly difficult to lure the best and brightest to the academic profession. India has survived with an increasingly mediocre higher education system for decades. Now as India strives to compete in a globalized economy in areas that require highly trained professionals, the quality of higher education becomes increasingly important. So far, India's large educated population base and its reservoir of at least moderately well trained university graduates have permitted the country to move ahead. But the competition is fierce. China in particular is heavily investing in improving its best universities with the aim of making a small group of them world class in the coming decade, and building them as internationally competitive research universities. Other Asian countries are also upgrading higher education with the aim of building world class-universities. To compete successfully in the knowledge-based economy of the 21st century, India needs enough colleges and universities that not only produce bright graduates for export but can also support sophisticated research in a number of scientific and scholarly fields and produce at least some of the knowledge and technology needed for an expanding economy. How can India build a higher education system that will permit it to join developed economies? Academic collaboration programs between the Foreign universities and Indian institutions and organizations are aimed at meeting the rapidly growing Indian educational needs by leveraging mutual capabilities. A part of the core mission of all educational institutions is to prepare their students to compete in the global economy. These collaboration programs contribute to that goal by giving students and faculty members international experience and global perspectives.

Research Collaborations
International Research Collaboration has always helped scientists to keep abreast of international science and to share expertise and resources. Today, one-fifth of the world's scientific papers are coauthored internationally a result of increasingly easy communication and cross-border travel. However, a new character of International Collaboration is emerging, as scientific research has become an integral part of economic and innovation policy. International Collaboration has also become a key element in globalization strategy. Research Collaboration supports research, training and knowledge transfer in everything from architecture to zoology, apart from supporting World-class research facilities. It also promotes public engagement in science, engineering and technology. The knowledge and expertise gained through investment in people and innovation allows the world to maintain a technological leading edge, build strong global economy and improve quality of life for people. International Research Collaboration requires work in partnership with other research investors including Government departments and agencies, Universities and colleges, and Industry. Research Collaboration extends across disciplines and organizational boundaries. Some of the main fields for Research Collaboration are:
* ARTS AND HUMANITIES * BIOTECHNOLOGY & BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES * ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL SCIENCES * ENGINEERING AND PHYSICAL SCIENCES * MEDICAL SCIENCES * NATURAL ENVIRONMENT * SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
crises in Africa, or diseases in Developing Countries are leading to new hopes about International Research Collaboration to address these issues. The USA was one of the first nations to establish an approach to attract "the best and the brightest" in the world to their Institutions. This policy placed the United States at the heart of International Research Collaboration, with US researchers co-authoring with researchers from over 170 Countries. The unique US position was based, first, on the openness of financial aid and fellowships to support any deserving Graduate student. This system grew through generous Federal Research funding and also by means of Institutional competition to attract the best Graduate students. Second, the tradition of openness in hiring Academics dated back to World War II, during which many prominent European scientists moved to the United States. Third, the US labor market has been open to Immigrants particularly for highly skilled ones who could get companies to sponsor them. Today, more Countries are taking comparable approaches to attract "the best and the brightest" through similar policies to open up. There is a stepped-up competition for International Students undertaken by several Countries most notably Australia, the United Kingdom, Japan, and China. India is on the threshold of joining this competition. Another approach to International Collaboration is to invest in World-class Research Centers of Excellence. Singapore was one of the first countries to use public money for attracting World-class Institutions. Singapore has become a major Asian education and research center, by creating highprofile international partnerships (with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford, Berkeley, and Whartonto name a few), inviting World-class Foreign Universities to open campuses (e.g., INSEAD, University of Chicago Business School, and Waseda), and by its ambitious biomedical science park, Biopolis. India has a great opportunity to enter into similar partnerships with leading Foreign Universities. For a developing country such as India, these steps are likely to lead to increases in Scholarships and Research Collaboration opportunities. International Research Collaboration has entered an era in which networking has a direct economic significance. Some governments are already beginning to pay a premium to become hubs in Global Excellence networks.
Today global networks are known to have contributed significantly to the success of Silicon Valley, USA. It has been possible for the USA to benefit directly from the Information Technology boom in India by being connected. The success of India is not only from cheap labor but also from attracting global R&D activities. Recent trends indicate that USA and other countries are keen to establish connections with the new powerhouse economy of India not only in downstream industries but also in upstream science. The world as a whole is increasingly united on the need for research and innovation to tackle global challenges such as poverty and climate change. The growing international concern regarding greenhouse gases,
20
These developments will produce significant changes in the World's Research capacity and yield new Centers of Excellence. The Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR) is the premier industrial research and development organization in India. Its chain of 39 R&D laboratories with 80 field stations spread across India are manned by 10,000 highly qualified scientists and engineers and 13,000 auxiliary and other staff, covering almost the entire spectrum of industrial R&D, ranging from aerospace to mining, microelectronics to metallurgy. CSIR, for example, can play an important role in promoting International Research Collaboration. In a similar manner, there are a good number of Universities, Colleges and Centres in India that have Research programs and these trends indicate opportunities for capacity building for research in India.
With several billion dollars in annual research funded by the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, Corporate partners, and other Federal and Private Foundations, American Universities are major Research Centers in the world. Award-winning Faculty members provide Graduate and Post-Graduate students with research opportunities in a multitude of disciplines. Foreign Universities work with faculty and outside partners to capitalize on opportunities to expand Research and Scholarship across all intellectual fields. This includes developing new programs, making strategic investments to seed new research initiatives and assisting Faculty in obtaining funding from Sponsors. Research Collaboration between Indian Institutions and Foreign Universities will be a win, win for all.
Certificate Programs
There has been a remarkable growth in the numbers and kinds of certificate programs that are sought by students and working professionals throughout India. Certificate programs include corporate training programs, executive development programs, and management development programs. Certificate
21
programs that consist of for-credit courses are of particular interest, because credits carry over to degree and diploma programs in Foreign Universities. Graduate and Post-Graduate certificate programs are sought after in virtually every discipline, including in business, education, health sciences, information technology, humanities, and the arts. Certificate programs are of interest because of their short duration. Some of the Indian students who take up certificate programs offered by Foreign Universities in India may be interested in transferring to the Foreign Universities and complete the remainder of credits in residence for earning a degree or diploma. Certificate programs usually comprise of five or six courses and students earn a maximum of 18 to 24 credits. Certificate programs may be of two-semester duration (one year), though a few select programs of one semester duration may also be offered. Graduate and Post-Graduate certificate programs of Foreign Universities may be offered in their entirety through Indian institutions. In addition to their existing certificate programs, Foreign Universities may suitably tailor their Graduate and Post-Graduate degree or diploma programs and offer them as certificate programs in India. Students completing the certificate programs offered through Indian institutions will be given certificates by Foreign Universities CORPORATE EDUCATION
As providers of comprehensive continuing education, Foreign Universities can serve as partners to companies and organizations in India. Foreign Universities can draw on their resources as worldrenowned universities to understand Indian organizations' needs, offer expert consultation, and develop custom educational programs which would be primarily delivered by Indian instructors who are experts in their fields. Foreign Universities' reputation as valuable partners and resources, and the breadth of their programs could enable them to build an impressive roster of clients and facilitate the growth of leading corporations, public agencies, and non-profit organizations in India. In Graduate certificate programs, students who have completed 12th standard will be eligible for admission. In Post-Graduate certificate programs, students who have completed Graduate degree or equivalent diploma program in any field of study will be eligible for admission. Students, who complete the certificate programs in India, will be eligible for seeking admission to Graduate and Post-Graduate degree and diploma programs in Foreign Universities. Relevant tests such as IELTS, TOEFL and SAT / GMAT / GRE will be required for admission. The number of credits waived for such students will be at the discretion of Foreign Universities based on individual students academic background.
22
second year (10+2+2) or third year (10+2+3) of graduate program may also transfer to Graduate programs in the Foreign Universities and complete the remainder of the program. TOEFL / IELTS and SAT scores will be required for admission to the Foreign Universities. Students who complete the first year of Post-Graduate program in Indian Institutions will be eligible for admission to Post-Graduate Degree programs of the Foreign Universities. TOFEL and GRE / GMAT scores will be required for admission to the Post-Graduate programs in the Foreign Universities. The number of Credits to be waived for students admitted on Transfer basis will be at the discretion of the Foreign Universities. Students enrolling in the Graduate and Post-Graduate programs of the Foreign Universities will be given
Degrees and Diplomas by the Foreign Universities after successful completion of study. Transfer students will be charged the prevailing tuition fee by the Foreign Universities. Students who do not plan to go to the Foreign Universities and students who have been unable to get Foreign visas will complete their program of study in India, and would be awarded Indian Degrees and Diplomas by the Indian Institutions concerned. For Twinning / Transfer programs, the Indian Institutions may invite Visiting Faculty of the Foreign Universities. In such cases, the Indian Institutions will bear the expenditure towards travel, stay and board of visiting from the Foreign Universities.

recognized as the largest online educational resources for students seeking quality learning experience. Now Foreign Universities are in a position to offer "Blended Learning" programs in India through Indian institutions by combining a vigorous classroom experience, along with comprehensive online learning. Some of the benefits are:
distance education instruction. Students will be required to take examinations in proctored settings. Assignments will be larger, longer, and more thorough so as to test for knowledge by forcing the students to research the subject and prove that they have done the work. Midterms and Final examinations will be held at common locations to enable professors to supervise directly. The distance education programs to be offered in India by Foreign Universities in collaboration with Indian institutions would be Graduate and PostGraduate degree, diploma, and certificate programs. Students will receive degrees, diplomas, and certificates from the concerned Foreign Uuniversities after successful completion of the programs in India. Foreign Universities and the Indian institutions will administer the programs jointly. Following are some of the benefits for Indian students: Students will have access to a wide range of Bachelor's and Master's programs of Foreign Universities in India. Tuition and fees will be in tune with the low cost of living in India. Students get valuable degrees, diplomas, and certificates of Foreign Universities at low cost. Students get first-hand knowledge of latest global developments, trends and techniques. Students will have better opportunities for employment and international careers by having degrees, diplomas, or certificates from Foreign Universities. Students will have opportunity to transfer with credits to Foreign Universities for further education.
Blended learning wont interfere with student's current job Student will cut down on commuting time and costs save money on petrol and parking. Student can meet and connect with classmates online and in person Student can enjoy learning in a hands-on environment Taking classes at an Indian institution closest to student's work or home means more convenience and flexibility.
Indian institutions including companies and organizations, in academic collaboration with Foreign Universities, will be able to offer an array of degree, diploma, and certificate programs at Bachelors and Masters levels in a wide range of fields. Distance education can be offered as a dynamic, interactive distance learning method using a diverse array of personal computers, video devices, CD and DVD ROMs, online courses over the Internet, interactive devices, and other modern technological innovations. When each lesson or segment is completed, the student makes available the assigned work for correction, grading, comment, and subject matter guidance by qualified Indian instructors. Corrected assignments are returned to the student. This exchange fosters a personalized studentinstructor relationship, which is the hallmark of
24
outlined below.
HOST INSTITUTION
Three basic schemes may define the nature of the faculty exchange and the responsibilities of the visiting faculty member. Combinations of all three are possible as arranged in each individual case. 1) RESEARCH ONLY
The host institution will assign the visiting professor an agreed upon number of courses to teach throughout the semester If course evaluations are issued, the host institution will forward them to the faculty visitor upon completion of the exchange semester
Host institution will arrange housing and visiting faculty member will pay for the cost
3) GUEST LECTURER Visiting scholar will be provided with lecture fees commensurate with the number of lectures asked for by the host institution and agreed upon by the visitor Such fees may include the provision of free housing and/or board at no cost to the individual but in any case, host institution will help visitor find housing
2) TEACHING Visiting scholar will be provided with a salary commensurate with teaching load asked for by the host institution and agreed upon by the visitor Such salary may include the provision of free housing and/or board at no cost to the individual but in any case, host institution will help visitor find housing
VISITING FACULTY
The visiting faculty will be on sabbatical or equivalent leave during the proposed semester of overseas exchange The exchange will last one semester or one academic year as arranged in advance Depending on the scheme chosen, the faculty visitor will be responsible for various costs
which may include room, board, personal living expenses on site, research costs, etc. Upon completion of the exchange, the visiting professor will submit a summary of his/her experience to the host institution and the home institution
25
* To enhance the ability of the student in second language learning * To eliminate fear and prejudice among nations * Enable student to experience international education COSTS Programs vary depending upon program length, country, content and other factors. Most program costs include insurance and other risk management components, especially health insurance. Students going on university exchange could pay tuition fees on home campus or host campus, but most of the time it is paid to home campus. Long term exchange program for university student often comes with
Scholarship that covers most of the expenses including flight ticket, accommodation and daily necessities. ACCOMMODATION University student going on exchange program could choose either to live on campus or off campus. Living off campus is a popular choice among student going for exchange because they would like to be independent and learn new culture on their own. Universities that host student exchange program do have special assistance for the students who seek accommodation. Institutions in India, have oncampus housing for the international student that is on exchange or studying full time.
Partnership Programs
Academic partnership programs are established for the purpose of developing cooperative efforts to improve the academic quality of Indian secondary schools, junior colleges, and undergraduate colleges with the objective of improving the preparation of students for entry into Foreign Universities. Academic partnerships are aimed at:
Transforming the relationships between educational institutions to directly benefit students; Improving curriculum in subject areas required for admission to Foreign Universities; Strengthening teachers' capacities to enable all students to learn the curriculum; Enhancing the ability of students to benefit from these changes; and Improving Foreign Universities understanding of Indian students' unique needs.
Partnership programs are important mechanisms that enhance access to Graduate and Post-Graduate programs of the Foreign Universities. Partnership programs support educational mobility and facilitate seamless acceptance of academic credit of Indian students. These programs enable Indian students to transition smoothly to Foreign educational systems and help in students course selection, eliminate curriculum redundancies, and streamline the application review process. Indian students will not have to go through the cumbersome process of credential evaluation by Foreign agencies. These programs promote understanding among educators across Indian and the Foreign institutions. These programs provide a measure of certainty to students in Indian institutions that they will be accepted in good Foreign Universities. Students will be spared the stress of having to prepare for the highly competitive entrance examinations in India with the knowledge that their admission in the Foreign Universities is almost assured. Further, students will have the option to change their field of study when they enter the Foreign Universities. This option for changing the field of study is not available in India. Tests such as IELTS, TOEFL and/or SAT/GMAT/GRE will be required for admission to the Foreign Universities.
Partnerships between English-medium Indian institutions and the Foreign Universities may be entered into, so that Indian students who complete 12th standard may be admitted as freshmen in Graduate programs of the Foreign Universities. Similar partnerships may be entered between Indian institutions and Foreign Universities so that Graduate student may be admitted to Post-Graduate programs.

One of the weaknesses of Indian education system is that it does not give due importance to vocational education. As a result, there is a mismatch between the skilled manpower required and skilled manpower available. Every year India churns out millions of graduates who do not have the specific skill sets required by the market. This has resulted in a situation where on the one hand, there are scores of unemployed graduates and on the other hand, there is a huge shortage of skilled workers such as plumbers, electricians, etc. To rectify this situation vocational training programs in India need to be promoted in a big way. Vocational training courses include:
* Typewriting * Stenography * Secretarial Practices * Computer Operator & Programme Assistant * Architectural Draughtsmanship * Desk Top Publishing * Electrical Technician * Electronics (Radio/TV/Tape Recorder Mechanic) * Refrigeration & Air Conditioning * Plumbing * Library Assistant * Cutting/Tailoring & Dress Making * Hair & Skin Care * Fruit & Vegetable Preservation Programs
Collaboration Methodology
Curricula of Programs: The curricula of degree, diploma, and certificate programs will be in tune with the guidelines established by the relevant accrediting agencies of the Foreign universities. The course exercises, along with home-works, assignments and examinations will be provided by the Foreign universities to ensure that the courses of study in India for obtaining degrees, diplomas, and certificates meet their academic standards. In the case of twinning/transfer programs, the curricula will be the regular existing curricula of the Indian institutions, though it may be supplemented by additional curricula of the Foreign universities, if desired by Indian institutions. Teaching: The course materials and teaching methods will be the same as the ones offered in the Foreign universities. Indian institutions will follow the same study guidelines as the Foreign universities. A faculty member may be deputed by the Foreign universities, for short duration of two weeks every semester for presenting parts of each program. Carefully selected Indian faculty will present remainder of the programs. Round-trip travel to India of visiting faculty members will be borne by Indian institutions. Room and board of international standards will be provided to visiting faculty members in India. In addition, Indian institutions will pay honoraria to the visiting faculty members. Testing: The course exercises, along with homeworks, assignments and examinations will be provided, administered, and graded by the faculty of Indian Institutions and Foreign universities for the courses taught by them. Faculty Support: Teaching in India will be done by the faculty of Indian institutions, though the Foreign universities may depute a faculty member each semester for short periods of two weeks to teach courses. Competent Indian faculty members will conduct the programs. Indian faculty will have academic and other qualifications as per the standards of the accrediting agencies of Foreign universities. State-of-the-art computing facilities and broad-band Internet connections will be provided by Indian institutions to enable students to access educational resources of the Foreign universities such as faculty, libraries and computer centers. Internships: Indian students will be encouraged to take up project works in corporate houses in India and abroad with the help of the Indian institutions and the Foreign universities. However, the cost of such internships will be borne by students themselves. Both Indian institutions and the Foreign universities will actively help the students to get internship opportunities in India and abroad. Placement Support: Students who have successfully completed their degree, diploma, and certificate programs will be listed by Indian institutions and the Foreign universities for tapping suitable placement opportunities with companies in India and foreign countries. Indian institutions and Foreign universities will actively assist in placing successful candidates in India and abroad with the help of on-site and video / telephone interviews.
28
Collaboration responsibility: The administration of the programs would be split between Indian institutions and Foreign universities. The responsibility of the Foreign universities will include developing innovative curricula, sharing faculty, and joint projects. Foreign universities would be incharge of programs, and course definition, whereas Indian institutions would handle local advertising and promotion, appointment of Indian faculty members, screening of students, admission of students, provision of infrastructure, and conducting of the programs. Revenue Sharing: Currently, the cost of tuition for programs offered by premier educational institutions Launch of Foreign Programs in India
Though the potential for launching collaborative programs between Foreign universities and Indian institutions is great, it has to be done in a thoughtful and methodical manner. The most important consideration is that the programs should be launched in collaboration between well-established and reputable foreign and Indian entities. A careful assessment has to be made about the commitment and financial resources of the concerned collaborating entities, so that sustainability is assured. It is absolutely
in India is around US $ 6,000 per year. Careful consideration will be given to current market trends by Indian institutions while setting competitive price of the programs in order to attract talented students across the country. The pricing of the programs will be fixed based on the expected demand for specific programs. The class size for each program will be around 60 students. Foreign universities will be paid a certain percent of tuition revenue of programs by Indian institutions. The percentage of the share of tuition revenue will depend on reputation, accreditation, and quality of the programs of Foreign universities.
essential that the programs are run properly with highest quality standards. Ability to provide infrastructure of international standards for running the programs will be an important criterion in the selection of collaborating partners. Careful scrutiny has to be made in the initial stages for ensuring success of the programs, apart from creating a good brand image. The Indus Foundation is willing to assist in this process.

Foundation also organizes visits to colleges in different cities, and interview sessions with students and parents. These events provide university representatives with valuable exposure and yield good recruiting results. Some of the benefits are:
Generation of income and saving of money on
qualified students.
Establishment of long-term visibility and presence
among students.
Substantial reduction of time and costs for recruiting
students.
Recruitment of financially able and better-prepared
students.
