Statistics provide a clear explanation for the private institutes' increased importance in the higher education sector, where volumes are growing in absolute terms. According to a 2012­13 survey by AISHE(All India Survey of Higher Education), there were 667 universities, 35,525 colleges, and 11,565 standalone institutes in the nation. 209 of these were privately run universities. There were anticipated to be 30.2 million students enrolled in higher education overall, 16.6 million of whom were male and 13.6 million female. The last ten years have seen the majority of the rise of private universities. The establishment of multidisciplinary institutes and increased capacity were essential components of the promotion of private universities. Following the introduction of the previous education strategy in the 1990s, those who had been successful in establishing private colleges largely took the plunge and graduated to create universities.

Due to a lack of enough capacity in high-quality public institutions, private universities emerged. Private universities have greatly developed. Many of them are making investments to develop into respectable academic hubs with a research focus. In fact, the about a dozen private institutions focused on liberal education that have been established in the last ten years or so are trailblazers they stand for the future of higher education in India. They are serious, rigorous universities with superb faculty, cutting-edge courses, and a commitment to research.

Additionally, India Inc. is seeking multifaceted experts with cross-functional experience. Students today need to have a distinct perspective, be critical thinkers, and have a sensitive worldview in order to confront contemporary issues in a sustainable way. A linear educational system is therefore no longer useful. Universities need to think of themselves as internationally renowned institutions and adopt a transdisciplinary teaching philosophy that has the potential to improve students' learning and growth.
