IIT-Delhi is going international, but the move may’ve been triggered by a controversial global ranking system

After having catered to around 40 million Indian students at home, the Indian Institute of Technology in Delhi (IIT-D) is planning to go international and open two campuses in Egypt and Saudi Arabia as part of a global outreach and expansion of top Indian institutes. It is the first such indirect step towards making ‘study in India’ a reality and ensuring India’s much-vaunted education system contributes towards enhancing global standard of learning. It will also enhance IIT-D’s financial health, reducing its dependence on government grants.
