The central government is striving for a consensus on entry of foreign universities and other educational institutions into the country. Though a bill to this effect is yet to be tabled in parliament, the HRD ministry is keen to allow foreign players without forcing reservation on them either in student intake or faculty recruitment.
It has also allowed Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) to go global provided they have fulfilled their shortcomings in terms of faculty crunch and infrastructural bottlenecks in their present campuses.
