FICCI Reports & Policy Papers

1. Survey Report - "Understanding of Private Higher Education in India - A Stakeholder's Perspective" submitted to the Planning Commission, GoI. (Available as Hard Copy)
   
   Abstract: This study was conducted by FICCI to seek the opinions and perceptions of a segment of the stakeholders involved in the higher education system. With Government funding to this sector declining annually and its limited outlay targeted largely to develop a few institutes of excellence, the role of the private sector would only increase in the years to come. The field survey carried out attempted to elicit the views of students, parents, recruiters and faculty to the increasing role of the private sector in higher education. The survey was carried out between December 2005 and January 2006. Over 4000 respondents across 11 cities in the stakeholder segments were contacted.
