Education, Training & Research Sector in India

According to IBEF, India is an important educational centre in the global education industry. India has more than 1.4 million schools and more than 35,000 higher education institutes. India has one of the largest higher education systems in the world and there is still a lot of potential for further development in the education system. India's online education market size is expected to touch US$ 40 billion by 2017. The RNCOS report titled, Booming Distance Education Market Outlook 2018 expects the distance education market in India to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of around 34 per cent during 2013-14 to 2017-18.

It is hoped that 25,000 MW of nuclear power capacity will be added through imports of nuclear reactors and fuel by 2020. With the increase of nuclear power plants in future, the human resource for radiation safety measures will increase tremendously. Another area where Physicist, Nuclear plays important role is the calculation of safe radiation doses in medical treatment with radiations. Here also crucial role of Radiation Physicist comes into play for calculation of doses. This could not only be an alluring career option but also a challenging career with an aim for providing safety to the humans engaged in welfare of mankind by making constructive use of radiations. Also, many private firms are now hiring Experimental Physicists in their companies and the future for Physicist, Nuclear seems very bright and prosperous according to these facts.
