Five Foreign Educational Institutions Seeking to Set up Campuses in India Get Letters of Intent
- On June 14, 2025, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan presented formal Letters of Intent to five international universities for launching their campuses in Navi Mumbai, India.
- This initiative follows the National Education Policy 2020 and the 2023 UGC draft regulations aiming to internationalize higher education and reduce student outflow abroad.
- The universities include University of Aberdeen, University of York, Illinois Institute of Technology, University of Western Australia, and IED Istituto Europeo di Design, set within a 250-acre planned International Education City near Navi Mumbai airport.
- Pradhan stated nine foreign universities are establishing campuses in India, with six more planned, while Fadnavis noted this creates a global education hub offering international degrees at 25% of the usual cost.
- This move aims to boost employability, attract quality institutions, and foster innovation, though it carries risks of operational uncertainty and potential marginalization of Indian academia.
