India has been a major seat of learning for centuries and has some of the best universities in the world (ISB, IIT, IISc, IIM, AIIMS). The state of Kerala in South India is one of the very few places in the world with 100% literacy. However, universal primary education across India has been difficult to achieve. The Indian government heavily subsidizes all levels of education.
In addition to government institutions of higher learning, the private sector has aggressively developed world-class educational institutions. The Indian Institutes of Technology are among the best in the world, on par with M.I.T. and Caltech. The story goes that Jawaharlal Nehru, the first prime minister of India, visited M.I.T. in the USA on a state visit and became determined to give India a comparable institute. Many academics now rate the caliber of students graduating from IIT to be higher than those produced by M.I.T.
The National Law School in Bangalore is the best in India; many of its students receive Rhodes Scholarships to Oxford. The All India Institute of Medical Sciences is consistently rated the top medical school in the country and is one of the best in the world. The Indian School of Business in Hyderabad and the Indian Institutes of Management (IIM) are the top management institutes in India and on par with the best in the world. Due to the overwhelming population, competition for the limited places in any of these institutes is extremely intense, resulting in only the brightest and best students being granted admission.
