New Delhi – The international campus of India’s Jamia Millia Islamia will be located in the Knowledge Village or International Academic City in Dubai.
On August 4, the proposal was brought up during a meeting of the university’s executive council.
The NEP-2020 strongly promotes the internationalisation of higher education and encourages top-ranked educational institutions in India to establish offshore campuses in various regions of the world, according to the agenda document from Jamia, a copy of which is with TOI.
The third-ranked institution in the nation for two years running thanks to NIRF, Jamia Millia Islamia is a high-performing Indian university with an A++ grade from the NAAC. It also has a decent international ranking from Times Higher Education and QS. By establishing a campus in Dubai, Jamia Millia Islamia hopes to start a new chapter in the internationalisation of Indian higher education. The university is asking the ministry of education for help.
The reason Dubai was chosen, according to the agenda sheet, is that more than 50% of its residents are Indian or have Indian ancestry.
The basic, intermediate, and senior secondary education of the children of the expat population is handled by a sizable number of Indian schools in Dubai. The existence of numerous private colleges, including those in India, demonstrates the enormous need for high-quality higher education in Dubai. According to the text, many colleges and universities fall short of Jamia Millia Islamia’s reputation in the Middle East.
It claimed that many students travel to North America and Europe and spend a fortune earning degrees because Dubai lacks high-quality higher education.
