Some ‘conditions’ mentioned in the draft are, “The Foreign Higher Educational Institutions (FHEIs) shall not offer any such programme of study which jeopardises the national interest of India or the standards of higher education in India. The Foreign Higher Educational Institutions shall not act as a representative office of the Parent Entity to undertake promotional activities for their programmes in their home jurisdiction or any other jurisdiction outside India.”
