Culture is a broad term that is not only used to define how human being live and interact with each other but it also includes shared attitudes and values. If we see academic culture in specific then it can be said that it involves ways of behaving and consists of those attitudes and values which are shared by people working or studying within the educational institutions. Academic culture of educational institutions largely involves academic viewpoints, morals, integrities and environments. Higher education plays an important role in shaping the academic culture of the country so the role of universities becomes very important in this regard. This paper aims to study the role of universities in India in shaping the academic culture of a country. It is based on secondary sources like government websites, United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) reports, journals (national and international), books, articles etc.
