20. Fundamentally, this segment is encompassed by bureaucracy
and inefficiency which is deterring growth
Fundamental shortcomings in the higher education space
• The regulatory bodies for higher education in India are perceived to be extremely corrupt and with bureaucratic
complexities ingrained in them
• The situation is a case of over‐regulation but under‐governance
• This makes the entry of new players and the expansion of operations for existing players difficult
• Involvement of politicians with respect to ownership and the large scale lucrative cash transactions due to the shortage
of quality institutes has led to sub‐standard education being imparted to students
of quality institutes has led to sub standard education being imparted to students
75% of the educational institutes in Maharashtra are operated by politicians
• The curriculum for various professional courses is outdated and is incomparable to global standards
• Examination system looks at testing a students capabilities at memorizing information rather than application of the
Examination system looks at testing a students capabilities at memorizing information rather than application of the
discipline learnt
• Focus has always been on mechanical learning with minimal inclination towards developing a link with industrial
applications of the subject
• Most institutions lack a good faculty which is primarily due to the lack of incentives and the meager salary earned by
teachers in comparison to their counterparts around the world
• This is an oversubscribed sector, consisting of many small institutions, with most colleges providing low quality
education which is thus unable to lead to employment generation
80% of the graduates in general streams (B.Sc./ B.A.) are unemployable which has made students weary of enrolling into
professional courses
HIGHER EDUCATION – INDIA.PPT 20
21. India’s low gross enrolment ratio provides opportunity for new
and existing players in the market
Low Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER)
• India has the third largest volume of enrollments in higher education, after China and the US
• However, India’s GER compares poorly to its global counterparts
• Furthermore, high dropout rates in primary education has affected the enrolments in higher education
Grade 1‐5 : 29%; Grade 6‐8: 50%; Grade 9‐12: 62%
• The planning commission is targeting a GER of 15.5% by 2012 which is an increase from 11% in 2008
National Knowledge Commission has recommended that the Government will need to establish ~1500 universities to
meet their GER target
t th i GER t t
The expenditure required in higher education will have to increase to 1.5% of the GDP from the existing level of 0.7%

underdeveloped higher education sector
Low public spending on higher education
• Public spend on education in India amounts to ~5.2% of the world’s cumulative public spend, but India is
home to 20% of the population in the target group
• The investment in the higher education sector increased from 0.67% of the total GDP in FY07 to 0.7% of the
total GDP in FY08
• The share of higher education expenditure as a percentage of total education expenditure has declined to
19.1% in FY08 from 19.4% in FY06

entities has hampered public private partnerships
The ‘not‐for profit’ policy of the government has drastically affected scalability in this sector
Issue
leading to lack of public private partnerships

24. Private players are working around the governments policies
towards generating profits and disbursing dividends
Mandate of the government and the approach adopted by private players
• The ‘not for‐profit’ mandate of the government towards the establishment of institutions requires
educational institutions to operate as a Society or a Public Trust wherein the profits accrued must be
invested back into the institution with no scope of a profit sharing model
i t d b k i t th i tit ti ith f fit h i d l
• This has acted as a deterrent for major corporates from investing in this segment
Multi‐layered regulatory approach in this industry has led to 80% of opportunities in the formal education space to be
elusive to commercial activity
• Players in the industry are addressing this challenge by using a two‐level structural approach in order to

• The governments mandate which requires these establishments to operate as not‐for‐profit trusts coupled
with over‐regulation by various bodies has not created any incentive for players to enter or expand

players from entering and expanding operations
