The proposed offshore campuses will provide students in the UAE and the Middle East with access to elite Indian education, as they will be able to pursue higher education in engineering, technology, business, and management without having to move to India.

The purpose of this initiative is to meet the growing demand for quality education among students in the UAE, as well as to attract foreign students to the region.

 This is expected to have a positive effect on the economy of the UAE, as it will create educational hubs that will promote innovation and development. Additionally, it will ensure that the gap in the provision of quality academic programs in the region is closed, especially in areas such as technology and management, where the demand is rising.

The joint effort between India and the UAE is expected to add to the academic credentials of both nations. It also highlights the UAE’s relentless efforts to become a global education destination, which will enable it to achieve acknowledge-based economy. The setting up of these campuses is expected to commence in the coming future, and more information on the above will be available soon.
