The Tech Tale Of Progression - Need For Academic Collaborations And Tie-Ups

Abstract

The pace of internationalization is rapidly rising thanks to unfettered communication channels and affordable travel. To take advantage of the potential this presents, institutions all around the world are establishing international partnerships and developing relationships with other universities. International collaboration in higher education fosters knowledge growth, open transfer of ideas, and enduring connections between institutions of higher learning. Collaborations between international and Indian educational institutions have definite advantages. Two major shortcomings in India's current educational system have to be corrected for the New Education Policy (NEP) 2020 to succeed. The first is flexibility in terms of subject options, course length, organization, and other factors. The second involves integrating top-tier foreign institutions and resources into Indian society. In this context, the researcher wants to discover what edupreneurs think about these partnerships and collaborations and wants to promote them throughout all of their universities. Therefore, the researcher takes 245 sample edupreneures from four sides of India which states contain the highest private universities as of 25-01-2023 i.e., Gujarat (West side), Rajasthan (North side), Karnataka (South side), Jharkhand (East side). He gathers their perspectives on the necessity of academic partnerships (both national and international) and tie-ups for Indian higher education using a questionnaire and analyses their opinions through factor analysis, multiple linear regression analysis, and ANOVA.
