Description The opening of the Indian economy in 1991 and the subsequent signing of the GATS Accord in 1994, gave a new flavour to education in general and higher education in particular. This has led to commodification of higher education with the emergence of private providers, both Indian and foreign, having profit maximisation as their main objective. This paper looks at the evolution of higher education system in India and the implications of GATS Accord and globalisation for this system. While India has witnessed a sizeable growth in education, it has not been accompanied by improvement in quality. A number of problems still plague our system of higher education. There is an urgent need for monitoring the providers of higher education to avoid further damage to the education sector.
