With booming global high-tech industries, colorful markets, well-respected universities and a rich history and culture, India provides many opportunities for study abroad students. While some students will choose to spend a semester immersed in a local community (three-fourths of India's population lives in villages), others will thrive on the chance to live in one of the world's most populated, exciting cities. The seventh-largest country in the world and the second most populous, India is divided into 28 states and six union territories. Its capital, Delhi, contains the most universities in India. The All India Institute of Medical Sciences, for example, is known as one of the best medical institutions in the world. In addition, students interested in the arts and social sciences can attend Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University. Bangalore, located in southern India, is known as the hub of India's booming information-technology industry. Mumbai (Bombay) is India's largest city and port, and the center of the country's finance and business sector. Film students will enjoy everything "Bollywood" has to offer, as more films are produced in Bombay than in Hollywood. Generally speaking, Engineering, Medicine, Management and Information Technology are the country's strongest university programs. Students who want to study engineering and technology may want to look into the Indian Institute of Technology located in Kanpur, Madras, Kharagpur and Mumbai. The Indian Institutes of Management located throughout India, the Xavier's Labour Research Institute in Jamshedpur, and the S.P. Jain Institute of Management and Research in Mumbai offer fine management programs. International students must complete entrance exams for admission into an Indian university.
