Abstract: Abstract Higher education prompting skill-based activities has been crucial to any country’s emergence in the global knowledge economy. However, with context to India’s higher education framework, it is well below the standard of the countries with which it is competing globally. India has no universities anywhere near the top 150 in QS international universities ranking. This deficiency prompts a considerable number of Indian students to pursue education abroad, resulting in a reduced talent pool for domestic innovation and economic growth. This manuscript aims to provide crucial insights into the obstacles termed “Barriers” and determinants of success termed “Critical Success Factors (CSFs)” that impact the effective functioning of the Indian higher education system (IHES). The research work has identified 19 barriers to the growth of IHES and 12 CSFs for the successful implementation of higher education in India. The grey Shannon-Entropy method has been utilised to compute the weightage of identified CSFs. Furthermore, the Evaluation Based on Distance from Average Solution technique has been employed to rank the recognised barriers considering the respective impact on CSFs. After a detailed analysis, this study suggests key steps to revamp the Indian higher education system. In the same regard, collaboration with eminent global universities through student exchange programs and the upliftment of standards for the accreditation of universities in India requires utmost consideration.
