Indian education market, it looks like, is all set to spread its wings as foreign educational institutes are looking forward to setting up shop here. As reported by Economic Times, a Singapore-based educational institute is planning to set-up its campus in India.
The institute, in collaboration with India's Vels Institute of Science, Technology and Advanced Studies will set-up its campuses in Chennai. With a plan to invest Rs 46 crore in the project, the University will offer programs in business and management.
Management Development Institute of Singapore (MDIS), in its statement has said that it'll start taking in admissions from October and will offer a variety of programs varying from diploma to masters in business and management. The institute is hoping to start more programs from next year.
As per the reports, construction of the 70,000 sq ft campus in Chennai will begin from July next year and cost of 10 million Singapore Dollar (Rs 46.69 crore) has been estimated.
Dr R Theyvendran, Secretary-General of MDIS has said, "Singapore's education has a stellar reputation not just in the region, but globally. There is demand from students from around the world to pursue programs with the Singapore brand, evident from the vast number of countries that students at MDIS in Singapore come from."
"Our existing two overseas campuses are doing well and is a further testament of the Singapore brand. This is the reason why we are taking bold steps and investing in this third overseas campus in India. We hope to fly the Singapore name high in these markets," he further added.
The Chennai University will be the third overseas campus for the Singapore-based private educational institution after Malaysia and Tashkent.
