Abstract

 Liberalization of the Indian economy and rationalization of 
business procedures has ensured a high economic growth 
with a rapidly expanding base for the manufacturing and hi
end service sectors like finance, telecommunication, 
information technology etc. leading to the growth of higher 
education sector. In order to meet the demand, lots of private 
higher education players have entered into the education 
sector with a variety of courses and specialization. At present 
India is striving to compete as a globalized economy in areas 
that require highly qualified and trained professionals, and 
thus the quality of higher education has become increasingly 
important.
