College students and recent graduates in India are increasingly participating in online courses to enhance their knowledge. Indian enrollments currently already account for about 8 percent of worldwide activity in Coursera and 12 percent in edX, the two leading platforms for massive open online courses (MOOCs).

According to MIT Technology Review, the MOOCs are also shaking up Indian education.
