: A large number of Muslims in India are receiving education from English medium schools. Higher Education has reached to the mind of many muslims. They felt that in the 21st Century modern education is of utmost importance and this can be achieved only by sending their children to Higher Educational Institutions. Nowadays marginalized Muslim communities are increasingly demanding more quality education from their Higher educational Institutions. But most of the Higher Education Institutions in India are privately owned and many educationist may not feel a need to fulfill the community desires. Although Muslim parents are attracted to the safe environment of these schools, they are aware that a purely religious education will not help their children to earn a decent living, because of outdated traditional methods and technique of teaching and learning, with a negative outlook towards modern subjects and also due to lack of innovations, experiments and researches. The main concern of this paper is to find out the contribution of Higher education in the empowerment of Muslims and point out the shortcomings of Higher education. This paper suggests some remedial measures also to improve the quality of Higher education for overall development of Muslim community.
