With admissions season approaching and many students preparing for September intakes, parents, aspirants, and education experts are increasingly looking at opportunities closer home. Following Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis’s announcement of the Navi Mumbai ‘Edu City’ project in 2025, several renowned universities from the US, UK, and Australia, among other countries, are setting up campuses in India.

Changing trends

The move has sparked interest among students who are keen to know whether they can access the same academic environment, faculty, and global exposure that overseas campuses offer, without bearing the high costs and visa-related challenges associated with studying abroad.
