2 .Increase in professional education From 2005- 06 to 2009- 10, Indian engineering and management institutions have doubled to about 2,000 and 3,000 institutions respectively. This fast growth represents the demand for professional, job-oriented degrees. As these programs have a relatively higher employability, institutions also have a better pricing power in this segment as compared to arts, science and commerce courses. This means that foreign institutions are likely to offer more programs in engineering and management as compared to liberal arts and sciences. For example, the partnership between Strathclyde University and SKIL Education, Carnegie Mellon University and Shiv Nadar Foundation, and Virginia Tech and MARG are all for professional programs in engineering or management.
