Current Higher Education Trends in India

Here are some insights into the current higher education scenario in India:

• Higher Digital Inclination for Informed Choices

India’s demand for top-quality higher education is immense with over 11 million students enrolling annually. The rise in digital platforms has turned the tables on how students search for and choose colleges. 

Today, a significant portion of India’s youth and their parents surf the internet for at least two to three hours to make informed educational choices. 

• Hybrid Learning for Flexibility

Hybrid learning has risen since the COVID-19 pandemic hit the world. The blend of in-person instructions and online classes has become widespread. The flexibility offered by this mode of education provides the utmost ease and opportunities to students.

• Priority to Skill-Based Education

Skill-based education is getting more power than ever for all the right reasons. Seeing the work culture today, education combined with skills is given a lot more preference than before.

Colleges are introducing specialised programs for a seamless transition from college to career. Several skill-centric courses have come to play, from data analytics to digital marketing.

• Gamified Learning

Learning and fun go hand-in-hand with gamification, one of the rising trends in India’s higher education scenario. The goal is to make education more engaging and interactive.

The learning elements are disguised in playful games, making the experience of offline or online learning more enriching and immersive. It also spearheads another aspect- making mundane teaching into a fun experience for teachers. 

• Cross-Culture Learning with Globalised Education

Globalised Education has opened paths to students for cross-culture learning. Through exchange programs and integrating global perspectives into the curriculum, students gain exposure to diverse cultures and languages and a way to thrive in the globalised workforce.
