Due to inconsistent regulation, rise of private operators, and political factors, it seems very difficult to find a partner in India. There is an opportunity and interest, but there are too many factors that challenge the idea. India is in the middle of the revolution of higher education. Because of the demand, the public university system has been compelled to give up and let private colleges keep up with the demand, which will decrease the level of regulation. India is one of the countries that has the most number of higher education institutions in the world. It has three times as many higher education institutions as those that exist in United States.

Nowadays, these private colleges are the possible partners of choice for the American institutions. Until now, schools from Georgia State and the Wharton business school at the University of Pennsylvania have collaborated exclusively with unrecognized non-degree-granting private institutions.

Today, the Virginia Technology Institute has the opportunity to sign on to construct a campus in southern India. This university was founded in 1872 as an agricultural and mechanical college in Blacksburg, Va. This university has been very perseverant in its idea of obtaining a campus of its own in India. They see a very interesting opportunity there and they are willing to take the chance. Virginia Tech Project
