Education in India has a history stretching back to the ancient urban centres of learning at Taxila and Nalanda. Western education became ingrained into Indian society with the establishment of the British Raj. Education in the India falls under the control of both the central government and the states, with some responsibilities lying with the centre and the state having autonomy for others. The various articles of the Indian constitution provide for education as a fundamental right. Most universities in India are Central or State Government controlled.
India has made huge progress in terms of increasing primary education attendance rate and expanding literacy to approximately two thirds of the population.[1] However, education is still far behind developing countries such as China or Thailand. Most children never attend secondary schools.[1] An optimistic estimate is that only one in five job-seekers in India has ever had any sort of vocational training.[2]
Three Indian universities were listed in the Times Higher Education of the world’s top 200 universities: Indian Institutes of Technology, Indian Institutes of Management, and Jawaharlal Nehru University in 2005 and 2006.[3] Although, no Indian university made to the top 300 of the Chinese conducted [Academic Ranking of World Universities] in 2006.[4] However, six Indian Institutes of Technology and Birla Institute of Technology and Science - Pilani, were listed among the top 20 science and technology schools in Asia by Asiaweek.[5] The Indian School of Business situated in Hyderabad was ranked number 15 in global MBA rankings by the Financial Times of London in 2009[6] while the All India Institute of Medical Sciences has been recognized as a global leader in medical research and treatment.[7]Similarly, the National Law School of India University situated in Bangalore is often considered to be the best law school in South Asia and a pioneer in legal education in India.
