In a big boost to the recognised Institutes of Eminence (IoEs), the government has issued the guidelines under which the institutions can establish foreign centres and full-fledged campuses, reports Livemint.
The government has cleared the way for each of the 20 IoEs to open as many as three offshore centres in the next five years, subject to approvals from Ministries of Education, Home and External Affairs. However, not more than one of such centres should be opened in one academic year.
The IoEs will also have to submit a detailed project report, a 10-year vision plan and five-year rolling implementation plan. The rolling implementation plan would have to spell the details about the academic plan, financial status, student admission, infrastructure, research and development, a governance plan with clear annual milestones and an action plan on how the centre is to be set up with identifiable outcomes.
As per the guidelines issued, IoEs can now start offshore operations with 500 students and five post-graduate programmes, as well as research activity. These will however have to ensure that these operations eventually grow into a full-fledged multi-disciplinary teaching and research campus with at least 3,000 students, and 300 faculty members within 10 years.
