Are there no national accreditation bodies in India?? If not, how then is someone to know whether the education and degree they recieve from an institution meets some minimum standard? Also, I'm always sceptical of numbers quoted by Indians - they have this amoral indifference to accuracy. About three years ago, we were told that there were about 300mn middleclass folks in India, and everyone went gaga, but it seems that number was way out of whack - more like 20 million. One never know what to believe.
