Finishing schools and foreign university bill

Indian education system, as we all know, will not allow you to think much. Its more tilted towards following something rather than creating.

To capitalise this poor situation, finishing schools have assumed significance. They started making students 'industry ready'- making students employable. It's all about teaching relevant syllabus of the course- which a student has already learnt- with little bit interdisciplinary approach. Thus they minted money over last 10- 15 years.

The entry of Foreign universities and change in the outlook of the Indian universities made me to think of relevance of these finishing schools and their economic viability. The gap they wished to fill is getting narrowed and hopefully, will never exists in near future.

I need to see the nature of Foreign university bill and the response it triggers among Indian universities. If that turns out to be for better, then the future of finishing schools is really scary.
