Eminence of many top institutions is recognized to be analogues to the best in the world. However, Indian education system faces problems from the issues that keep originating from disparities and developmental practices adopted. As a result of which even after all the remarkable development in the areas of Information Technology, space science, nuclear technology, oil exploration, industrial production etc., India is still not able to eradicate its problems of poverty, ignorance and underdevelopment completely and successfully due to various reasons.
Nearly one-fourth of the population is still below poverty line; onethird are illiterate and disparities amongst rich-poor, urban-rural, educateduneducated are high, which are posing hindrances in the developmental phenomena. Now as the country has opened its door to the foreign contributors in the fields like education, the country has to face challenges of globalization and pressures of liberalization while continuing its fight against poverty, illiteracy and disadvantages to upgrade its stature from developing to a developed economy. Keeping the above in view, present paper deliberates the impact of globalisation on higher education with the analysis of the opportunities and threats.
