Another big step has been taken towards strengthening higher education in India at the world level. The University Grants Commission (UGC) has given approval to three top foreign universities to start their campuses in India. Under this, Britain’s University of York and University of Bristol will set up their campuses in Mumbai, while Australia’s University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney) will start its first international campus in Bengaluru.
After getting the approval of UGC, these universities will now be able to start the admission process for students in India. This initiative is part of the goal of internationalization of higher education under the New Education Policy (NEP 2020), which aims to provide world-class education to Indian students in the country itself. Formal acceptance letters have been handed over to these universities.
Britain’s University of York said that it has received formal approval from UGC to set up a campus in Mumbai. The university will start admitting students from the academic session of 2026.
