It's not the quantity, but the quality that counts. Our univs, needless to say, suck big time! We're not even in the first 200 univs in the world where quality education is concerned!

Both quantity and quality matters. In case of India, If you give me a choice I would give more importance to quantity given the large population. It is better to have 100 state Universities than have 10 IITs. As regarding quality, when competition heats up Universities will have no choice but to improve their quality to attract better students.

I am happy India has a good base to leap forward.
