At the essential and auxiliary level, India has a vast non-public school framework supplementing the administration run schools, with 29% of understudies getting private schooling in the 6 to 14 age group.[7] Certain post-optional specialized schools are likewise private.

According to the Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) 2012, 96.5% of all provincial youngsters between the ages of 6-14 were enlisted in school. This is the fourth yearly study to report enrolment above 96%. Another report from 2013 expressed that there were 22.9 crore understudies selected in various certify urban and country schools of India, from Class I to XII, speaking to an expansion of 23 lakh understudies more than 2002 aggregate enrolment, and a 19;% increment in young lady's enrolment.[9] While quantitatively India is crawling nearer to all inclusive instruction, the nature of its training has been addressed especially in its administration run educational system. A portion of the purposes behind the low quality incorporate nonappearance of around 25% of instructors each day.[10] States of India have presented tests and training evaluation framework to distinguish and enhance such schools.[11] 

It is vital to clear up that while there are non-public schools in India, they are exceptionally directed as far as what they can instruct, in what structure they can work (must be a non-benefit to run any certify instructive organization) and every other part of operation. Thus, the separation of government schools and tuition based schools can be misguiding.[12]

Another element of India's optional educational system is its accentuation on calling based professional preparing to help understudies achieve abilities for finding a job of his/her choosing.

Starting 2012, India has 152[45] focal colleges, 316 state colleges, and 191 private colleges. Different foundations incorporate 33,623[46] schools, including 1,800 restrictive ladies' schools, working under these colleges and institutions,[43] and 12,748 Institutions offering Diploma Courses. The accentuation in the tertiary level of training lies on science and technology.[47] Indian instructive organizations by 2004 comprised of a substantial number of innovation institutes.[48] Distance learning is additionally an element of the Indian advanced education system.[48] The Government has propelled Rashtriya Uchchattar Shiksha Abhiyan to give key financing to State higher and specialized foundations. An aggregate of 316 state funded colleges and 13,024 universities will be secured under it.[49] 

A few establishments of India, for example, the National Institute of Technology (NITs), Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), Indian Institute of Science and University of Mumbai have been universally acclaimed for their standard of under-graduate training in engineering.[48][50] The IITs enlist around 10,000 understudies every year and the graduated class have added to both the development of the private part and people in general segments of India.[51] However the IIT's have not had noteworthy effect on crucial logical exploration and advancement. A few different organizations of principal research, for example, the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science (IACS), Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Harish-Chandra Research Institute (HRI), are acclaimed for their standard of exploration in essential sciences and arithmetic.

Other than top of the line colleges which give exceedingly aggressive world class instruction to their students, India is additionally home to numerous colleges which have been established with the sole goal of profiting. Administrative powers like UGC and AICTE have been making a decent attempt to extirpate the danger of private colleges which are running courses with no alliance or acknowledgment.

Quality certification components have neglected to stop distortions and misbehaviors in advanced education. In the meantime administrative bodies have been blamed for defilement, particularly on account of esteemed universities.[53] In this connection of absence of strong quality affirmation system, establishments need to venture up and set higher measures of self-regulation.[54] 

Our college framework is, in numerous parts, in a condition of disrepair...In a large portion of the areas in the nation, advanced education enrolments are appallingly low, just about two-third of our colleges and 90 % of our schools are evaluated as underneath normal on quality parameters... I am worried that in numerous states college arrangements, including that of bad habit chancellors, have been politicized and have ended up subject to standing and shared contemplations, there are dissensions of bias and debasement. 

—  Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in 2007[55]
