Is it necessary for overseas colleges to collaborate with any Indian Educational institute for running branches in India?

Yes, it is necessary for overseas colleges to collaborate with an Indian educational institute for running branches in India. This is because the University Grants Commission (UGC), the apex regulatory body for higher education in India, requires all foreign universities to have a local collaborator in order to operate in India.
The collaboration between the overseas college and the Indian educational institute typically involves the following:

• The overseas college will provide the curriculum and teaching materials for the program.
• The Indian educational institute will provide the infrastructure and facilities for the program, such as classrooms, laboratories, and libraries.
• The Indian educational institute will be responsible for student admissions, registration, and academic records.
• The overseas college and the Indian educational institute will share the revenue generated from the program.
