Eruditus, the world leader in providing access to high-quality education at an affordable price for individuals, businesses, and governments worldwide, has today revealed strategic partnerships with seven prominent global universities to facilitate the creation of their campuses in India across Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Gurugram.

Through these collaborations, Eruditus will collaborate with each university to facilitate on-ground campus activities in India, integrating them into the universities' global campus frameworks, allowing them to deliver the same academic quality and degree offerings as their main campuses.

Every year, approximately 11 million students pass Grade 12, with 1.7 million achieving scores in the top 15percent. Approximately 200,000 of these top-tier students gain admission to India’s most esteemed higher education institutions, leaving 1.5 million high-performing students who, despite excellent academics, choose reputable regional public and private colleges and are in search of better, more globally relevant opportunities.

Simultaneously, the costs of studying abroad have increased and become more unpredictable for numerous families because of escalating expenses and persistent geopolitical uncertainties. The recently launched campuses in India will allow students to attain internationally acknowledged degrees following global academic standards, studying on-site in India and developing robust academic and professional connections.
