Nearly half of traditional India colleges and universities are at risk of closing if they do not prepare for a "technologically enabled future", according to Dr Kak , the Regents professor of electrical and computer engineering at Oklahoma State University . Kak said the growing use of online education, which was cheaper and could be personalised, was a "disruptive challenge" that had already brought about the closure of Nearly half Indian engineering colleges. Subhash Kak added the spread of artificial intelligence was a further threat as fewer people were likely to need advanced college degrees.

Kak said the growing use of online education, which was cheaper and could be personalised, was a "disruptive challenge" that had already brought about the closure of 800 Indian engineering colleges.
