Microsoft is setting up a university in Bangalore, the Silicon valley of India, to impart computer education.
Though Microsoft does fund education and research projects in many universities across the world, this Bangalore based university will be wholly owned by the software giant and it's first-ever independent educational venture in the world.
TOI says that the Microsoft university may train around 1,000 students and it may well be India's first run by a multinational company.
Microsoft has software development centers both in Bangalore and Hyderabad. Recently, they opened shop in Vancouver, Canada after failing to get more workers in their US office on H1-B visa. Maybe the Microsoft University campus in India may be another step in the same direction - train students as per requirements and then absorb the best of the lot.
