Two professors from IIT Madras demonstrated how the Indian Education System is becoming more globalized in the post-pandemic age by giving credit to the National Education Policy, 2022. The new National Education Policy NEP launched in 2020 by the Government of India configures a magnificent outlook for the future of education in India, displaying a sweeping vision for the HEI- Higher Education Institutions in India. The new national education policy focused on making higher education affordable, inclusive, high-quality, and available to all eligible citizens of India. There is also a restored interest in the internationalization of the higher education institution program and the promotion of India as an education hub.



The Covid-19 pandemic challenged educational institutions, but on the other hand, it also opened the door to opportunities for globalization.



Multiplicity in Learning Surroundings



Multicultural environments are essential to offer a holistic education as learning is about viewing a subject from myriad perspectives. Multiple higher education institutions are also campuses where students live and learn, and different groups of individuals add something to the overall growth and improvement of institutions. The leading universities around the globe have long benefitted from international student cohorts, and Indian institutions could, as well. Regardless, access to these emerging opportunities is not livery due to political, cultural, and economic reasons. The approval of online forms of learning, supported by the pandemic-related border closures, has only mitigated his constraint partially.



Constructing Action Capability



Germany offered tools, faculty, and know-how when IIT Madras was inaugurated, and on the other hand, IIT Kanpur obtained the same contribution from the United States. The internationalization statements in the national education policy seem to be a call for arms for well-established institutions such as the IITs to go ahead, especially in our nearest neighbor and in countries in Africa, to entitle them for future needs in a similar manner. The learning stockpiled in Indian educational institutions is a benefit, and our potential to swiftly scale educational offerings, especially in engineering, to meet the expanding requirements of the country can be instantaneously ported to others in need of these interventions. These challenges include the need for recognition, accreditation of Indian degrees locally, and affordability for the students.



India to Become Vishwa Guru



Higher education in multidisciplinary areas such as data science, cyber-physical system, technology, etc., is rapidly emerging as India's strength. These types of programs are unavailable in many of our neighboring countries, and India can take the position of Vishwa Guru in bringing these to the neighborhood. The approval of morally web-based and hybrid learning offers us multiple options for taking Indian higher education institution programs to countries overseas, with the tiniest requirements for the infrastructure. India could work with counterpart institutions abroad to invent undergraduate courses that will prepare students desiring multidisciplinary programs with the necessary background to assure victory.



Economic Powerhouses



There is a substantial economic option in internationalizing the avant-garde programs offered by Indian institutions. International student tuition can be a new lease of life for Indian higher educational institutions in the same way it is for Canada and other countries. The potential will rise as international postgraduates from the Indian higher educational institutions become extensively successful. Some challenges comprise the perceptivity of India as a developing country and concerns regarding the quality of education on offer. Currently, jobs and careers post-graduation, available to high-performing international students in Canada, Australia, and the US, might be back-breaking in India.



The two professors commented that these are exciting times for Indian higher education institutions and framing the unique Indian educational offering to the world is well within reach. There is an encircling vision for higher educational institutions stated in the National Education Policy. Additionally, enormous strides are being made in the investigation and teaching infrastructure of the country. Also, the light-footed policies concerning student recruitment, academic collaborations with top institutions, and credit transfers will foreshadow forward.



In the end, they said that we hope there will be a well-built focus on the globalization of Indian education through rational national debates and policy changes, desired at directing the possibilities and the challenges in a proportional manner
