​The high school student has set her eyes on the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT). A team of six IIT professors is in Sri Lanka to orient students to the IIT admissions process. However, admitting more foreign students will put the IITs at an even higher level globally,” said Santosh J. Gharpure, Associate Professor, IIT-Bombay. ​Moreover, many high school students, particularly those from Colombo, are increasingly considering higher education abroad -- even at the undergraduate level -- targeting schools in the U.S., U.K. and Australia. So it’s an advantage not just to the foreign students, but a great value addition to the experience of our students in India as well.
