Not even ONE of these schools offered Psychology, Biotechnology, Technical drawing/design. Just 45 offered a fundamental elective like Comp Science. PCMB subjects are the ones where students fail. If you want to keep your pass rate high by not offering these subjects, good luck.

India must be the only country where it's very difficult to get well-educated foreigners visas and permits to work here in corporates or MNCs or academia; lots of cumbersome paperwork (much of the time) + regular checks but otherwise! it's a free for all at the borders 🙄

on a serious note, for a finite amount of money X (for higher-ed), the 1t priority of the gov should be to try making sure that high-quality UG seats are maximized. The 10 yrs she spent at JNU could've funded 3 yrs BCom, BA, BSc for three 85-percenters who gets zilch at DU, now.
