anticipated as one of the Nations to lead the future scenario. During independence there were 20
Universities, 500 Colleges with 2,40,000 students.Today there are more than 300 University level
Institutions and 13,000 Collegeswith approximately 10 Million students. There are more than 4,30,000
teachersengaged in teaching in these Institutions.When we compare the higher education with the
other developed and leadingdeveloping countries we find that only 7.5% of Indian youth in the age
group of 17 -23 years are studying in the institutions of higher education whereas 15.22% of the
youth access to the higher education in many other countries. Compared to India many of the
institutions of higher education in abroad have excellent infrastructure,resources, faculty developing
programs and research but the same cannot be said about the institutions of higher education in
India. In this paper, an attempt has beenmade to comprehend the present status of the higher
education system through the SWOT analysis, a prevalent technique of management studies.

Institutions of Higher education can be called Public Institutions in sense that eitherthese are directly
run by the Union or State Governments or Receiving Substantial Grants from the Government.
