Education in India |

Higher
Education in India has evolved in distinct and divergent
streams with each stream monitored by an apex body,
indirectly controlled by the Ministry
of Human Resource Development. The 415
universities/ institutions, are mostly funded by the state
governments. However, there are 25 important universities
called Central universities, which are maintained by the
Union Government and because of relatively large funding,
they have an edge over the others. The engineering education and business schools are
monitored and accredited by the All
India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) while
medical education is monitored and accredited by the Medical
Council of India (MCI). Like-wise, agriculture
education and research is monitored by the Indian
Council for Agriculture Research. Apart from these,
National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) controls all
the teacher training institutions in the country. The country has some ace engineering, management and
medical education institutions which are directly funded
by the Ministry of Human Resource Development of the Union
Government. Admission to all professional education
colleges is done through all-India common admission tests
of which the IIT-JEE, AIEEE, CAT and CPMT are the most
popular ones. Most of the institutions reserve a small percentage of
seats for foreign students.
