Italy has officially cut the Indian in-take at 12%. This is the first year this has ever happened. They claim that it is so they can keep a general order. They don’t want the Indian students to over populate the Italian student. They are different. The Italians make up 27% of the University so by cutting of the in-take at 12% they keep a pretty large gap. Even though they have put a cap on the intake there are still a lot of Indians still attempting to get into the country for education. This year was the largest increase that they have had in years, application wise. They are emphasizing the importance of diversity on their campus. Indian and Chinese are usually the largest chucks of people that study internationally. This school is just really trying to make sure that their school stays very well represented. Many school attempt to do the same thing but they do not but cap on the amount of people they take in.
I’m not sure how I feel about this. I think it is good to try to make your school diverse, but can you really promote diversity if you cap the amount of people that can come? There are places everywhere that are very diverse but they do not cap any people out. I get it. But I also don’t think it is the best idea. It does not give your university the best look, if you are tell people that you can’t come. Education is a huge issue in the world. Everyone deserve to have and education. If they are going to pay for it, they should be able to decide where they get it from. It is not fair to tell only a few of them that they cant go there.
