DESCRIPTION:Internationalisation of Higher Education (IoHE) as a strategic
  policy is a relatively new phenomenon in India. The National Education Po
 licy (NEP) 2020 and the guidelines on ‘Internationalisation of Higher Ed
 ucation’ by UGC (University Grants Commission) envision ‘international
 isation at home’ making India a ‘global study destination’ and resto
 ring its role as a ‘Vishwa Guru’ (Global Leader). The prime goal is to
  increase the number of international students in India from approximately
  50\,000 to 5\,00\,00 per year\, envisaging a ten-fold increase. Though a 
 number of initiatives\, starting from reserving 25 percent of supernumerar
 y seats for international students to establishing a Study in India (SII) 
 Portal—a one-stop facility for international students—are in place\, t
 he inflow of international students has largely remained static. The All I
 ndia Survey on Higher Education (AISHE) conducted by the Ministry of Educa
 tion collects data on the composition and direction of international stude
 nts\, but unfortunately\, there is no institutional mechanism to gain insi
 ghts into the motivations and experiences of international students. There
 fore\, the main idea behind the webinar is to gain insights into the motiv
 ations and experiences of international students in India and propose a co
 mprehensive evidence-based internationalisation policy for Indian higher e
 ducation.\n\nGiven this\, the proposed webinar will reflect on India’s i
 nternationalisation policy and what exits in practice by sharing the empir
 ical results of a qualitative study based on three central universities in
  Delhi\, viz.\, Jawaharlal Nehru University\, the University of Delhi\, an
 d Jamia Millia Islamia. The session will begin by delving into the policy-
 related aspects of internationalisation\, viz.\, how does NEP 2020 concept
 ualise IoHE and what are the broad objectives of IoHE in India? Do Indian 
 institutions have the same objectives of internationalisation as those pur
 sued by the West? What are the differences and similarities in parameters 
 of internationalisation prescribed by NEP 2020 vis-à-vis the ‘Global No
 rth’? This will be followed by a discussion on how internationalisation 
 is conceptualised or understood in practice by international students. Wha
 t are the motivations and mobility experiences of international students? 
 What are the gaps in policy and expectations of international students? Th
 e session will end with a discussion on future pathways for internationali
 sing Indian higher education.\nSpeakers:\nDr Shekhar Tokas (International 
 Affairs Division and Ambedkar University Delhi)
