For India to maintain its economic growth in the global marketplace fueled by the knowledge economy, the country needs to increase student enrollments in higher education. The countrys demographic differentials reveal that India will have a distinct advantage of the younger age group (where many new opportunities can be fully optimized) over the next few years. To enroll this high number of young population in colleges, the country requires more universities and training institutes.
As per our research, the number of universities has grown manifold and a similar trend has been witnessed in the number of student enrollments (grown to ~ 14 Million) in the higher education. The annual student enrollments in higher education are expected to grow at a CAGR of nearly 8.7% during 2010-11 to 2012-13. Further, the market size of higher education will witness a CAGR of approximately 15% to cross US$ 22 Billion by 2013.
Although the country has one of the largest higher education systems in the world, our report Indian Education Services - A Hot Opportunity has found that there remains high growth potential for the development of higher education system in India. Economic growth will lead to a surge in demand for more engineers and management graduates. Along with the quantity of graduates, the quality of education is anticipated to be another focus area for the Indian higher education system. With the entry of foreign players, it is expected that the competition will intensify and correspondingly improve the quality of education.

Moreover, doctor to population ratio is approximately 1:2000. In order to increase this ratio, there is a huge requirement of nursing and medical colleges. According to our study, the number of required medical colleges should reach 295 by 2013 from 271 in 2009.
