The Oxford University considers Indian students among the best in the world and would like more of them joining its campus, Chancellor Chris Patten has said.
The university, which produced the likes of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission Montek Singh Ahluwalia, has presently 257 Indian students on roll. But one-third of its students are from China.
“We want more Indian students because we want the best in the world to come to Oxford,” Mr. Patten said. Most of the Indian students are in the Said Business School.
“About a quarter of the students are doing MBAs…but I would like to see more in social sciences and humanities, doing both under-graduate and post-graduate work,” he said.
