There is this misconception that Indians go abroad for education. In some cases its true, but for many people it’s just to get good jobs and settle in USA or UK or Australia. I guess, when these universities come, they would struggle to fill up seats. The fees would be comparable with US standards and that’s it. Indians are accustomed to subsidized education, they won’t pay through their noses to stay back in India and earn small dole outs from companies. By just getting some universities in India won’t solve any problem. It’s the “system” that needs to be changed. Some form of capitalist structure married to socialist ideology, somewhat like the French mimicking the American structure, but with a strong sociological ideology.
In this regard the Chinese policy is again the best.
There should be no "open-to-all" policy other wise the same Austrelian Universities that were raking in billions by selling graduate course on "hair cutting" will find it even easier to do their business. There sould be some kind of restrictions in place about which institute will be allowed to offer which course and for what fees. Otherwise it will again expand the "educational divide" and then our great leaders will scream "reservation".

people went to australia for cookery classes NOT TO learn Cookery but for Permanent Residency or Citizenship of Australia.
So there will be no takers of cookery institutes in india.
