 * All most all Universities of West Bengal have been added and categorised as State, Central, national importance and Deemed. Reference to UGC and AICTE mentioned (also funding added)--Victor D PARLE 19:21, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Suggestion


 * I suggest the Colleges and Universities should not be numbered; seems to be ranked. Please set as bulleted list --Victor D PARLE 08:23, 14 February 2006 (UTC).
 * Done.--Victor D PARLE 21:34, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

there are no uniersitites in up or what?  Uttar Pradesh state is not mentioned

I am surprised to see that premier institutes like IIIT, Hyderabad and Andhra University are not mentioned, while private engineering colleges were listed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.35.46.13 (talk) 06:50, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Rename to List of colleges and institutes in India
Shouldn't the title of this article be List of colleges and institutes in India? After all, it is purely a list article. talk 12:29, 16 December 2009 (UTC) Yes, yes it really should. Etrigan (talk) 08:22, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Article Deletion/Overhaul
The objective of this article should be basically to list all the lists of institutions in India and not the institutions themselves. The article in its current form is absurd and pointless. Therefore, the article either stands for deletion, or a complete overhaul into a list of lists. I think the latter is preferable after moving the article to a suitable name, in order to ensure that such pointless articles do not arise in the future. That would also ensure that we have a start towards more organized lists, if we work from the top-down, instead of bottom-up.--Siddhartha Ghai (talk) 21:25, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
 * ✅ Let us move this article to List of Indian institutions of higher education and make it the comprehensive list of lists of all insitutions of higher education in India, as I have outlined at WikiProject Education in India. After the move we will set-up all the state lists and the special lists which will be linked to from our main list. –  ∃   Aditya   7   ¦  08:51, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Grouping of States & UTs
How can we group the states and union territories into North, South etc zones. One way of grouping is by the Cultural Zones of India as decided by the Government of India. But the problem is that these Cultural Zones are overlapping. So how should we group them? According to geographical latitude? Take a look at South India, North India, West India, Central India, East India, and North-East India and also List of American institutions of higher education. – ∃   Aditya   7   ¦  07:59, 7 July 2011 (UTC)


 * South India- Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Puducherry - Clearcut division in South India article. No overlap with other articles.
 * East India - West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa - Clearcut division in East India article.
 * Only overlap-Northern West Bengal(Northeast India) - I think it would be safe to assume these in the East
 * Northeast India- Seven sisters(Arunanchal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura) and Sikkim
 * West India - Goa, Gujarat, Maharashtra
 * Central India - Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh
 * North India - Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Chandigarh, Rajasthan(Put in North India since it isn't included in West India article)

Remaining --Siddhartha Ghai (talk) 16:32, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Lakshadweep - Suggestion - Create article on List of educational institutions in Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Add to Islands section in this article.


 * ✅--Siddhartha Ghai (talk) 16:17, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
 * More pages need to link to this article. This article is meant to be the index/main page for WP's coverage of the educational institutions in India, so this article doesn't deserve to get so low traffic. Siddhartha Ghai, can you find maps of India that highlight the respective parts/zones of India? –  ∃   Aditya   7   ¦  17:15, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Click able Map

 * I was actually thinking of having a single clickable map with cities and states named, which, when clicked on the state/city or its name, leads to the corresponding list.--Siddhartha Ghai (talk) 18:11, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
 * On second thoughts, different clickable maps highlighting the different regions might serve the purpose better. Although I've found File:SouthIndia.png, File:West india locator.png, File:Central-India-locator.png and File:East-India-locator.png, I think we should have something specifically made based on File:India-locator-map-blank.svg for this article. And since I have no experience with images, someone else will have to do it.--Siddhartha Ghai (talk) 17:47, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Lead section
The current lead line is:Below are links to lists of Indian institutions of education in India.

Shouldn't it be: Below are links to lists of institutions of education in India.

I think the latter is grammatically correct, the former isn't.--Siddhartha Ghai (talk) 16:08, 7 July 2011 (UTC)


 * ✅--Siddhartha Ghai (talk) 19:50, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

List of schools in India
List of schools in India too, needs a similar overhaul. – ∃   Aditya   7   ¦  05:52, 15 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Discussion started at Talk:List of schools in India--Siddhartha Ghai (talk) 10:24, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
