There is a wide gap between social expectations from higher education and the resources provided by the central and the state governments. There is a definite need to identify the strengths, weakness of our higher educational system. With the challenges of globalization and info- tech revolution, there is definite need to improve the quality of higher education in India and make it accessible to every eligible and interested student. The globalized economy provides tremendous opportunities and challenges for our institutions of higher education. At the time of independence in 1947, there were 20 universities and around 550 colleges in the country. Today, there are more than 864 universities and approximately 42,322 affiliated colleges in the country. However, the educational opportunities still remain insufficient for meeting our social needs. This paper gives an overview of the challenges of higher education in India, covering different aspects and also gives the solution for providing quality of higher education.

Higher Education, Quality.
