 The delegation apprised President Shri Pranab Mukherjee about EPSI’s role in advocating the growth and quality of education In India. The organization has recently launched a website Studyindia.org, which lists all the Universities and colleges along with the courses being offered by them.
 Appreciating the work being done by EPSI, President Shri Pranab Mukherjee said, “I am happy that this portal is promoting Indian Higher Education and attracting the foreign nationals.  As of now, there are about 45,000 foreign students only studying in India.  I came to know that EPSI through this web portal is targeting 1,00,000 foreign students in the year 2018.  This is a welcome move.  I congratulate Dr. G Viswanathan, President EPSI and the office bearers to take up this cause.”  

 The organisation coordinates between Government and Institutional operators, academia and industry and between student community and beneficiary employers and between national and international bodies committed to the advancement and improvement of education. 


Meanwhile, QS Regional Director, Mr Ashwin Fernandes said that three years ago, India was home to only 14 ranked universities in the QS world ranking. It is now home to 20 top universities, with six new universities having entered the cohort in that time. This demonstrates that more of our institutions are being deemed worthy of entry into the rankings, which in turn indicates greater strength in depth.

President Pranab Mukherjee also said, “On this joyful occasion, it gives me further immense happiness to see India rising on the global stage.  Year after year, Indian Universities are competing at global level and improving in various global level rankings. He also added that the QS World University Rankings are amongst the top referenced University Rankings in the world today.  In this background, the 2018 Education of QS World Rankings are considered resource for students, parents, academics and policy makers alike to use in pursuit of their various goals.  In comparison with best rankings, this Edition would allow these audiences to better understand institutional, national, regional and global trends as they develop.  I can indeed see how India is transforming itself into an advanced knowledge economy.”

 He said that he is very happy to learn that for the first time in the QS World Rankings, two private universities have made a mark – Birla Institute of Technology and Science and Manipal University.
