Ever since the construction boom started in India, there has been a tremendous interest in the real estate research in the country. No longer do people need to fly abroad for such a vocation. It would also be prudent to add that serious studies on real estate are still in their infancy and the genre is not as appealing as management studies. However, the field is slowly opening up new vistas and more and more investors are showing growing interest in Indian real estate. No wonder, various Indian institutes have joined the fray in awarding coveted degrees, diplomas and accreditation in real estate.

Real estate research – in the Indian context -- is often considered an offshoot of financial studies. Students opting for their majors in finance usually can take up courses in real estate. Interestingly, the Indian Institute of Real Estate offers good courses in real estate. The institute is reputed for its contact and correspondence courses. IIRE conducts its courses throughout India via several accredited training centers. Pertinently, the institute has tied up with the Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM), Certified Commercial Investment Manager (CCIM) and National Association of Realtors (USA). The courses are held in Mumbai and Bangalore apart from Delhi.

Equipped with formal degrees in real estate, the professionals can work with a real estate broker or start own full time agencies. The disciplines of Indian real estate studies are mainly focused on technical, economic and social phenomena. Significantly, such focus often leads to serious studies on the real estate market, valuation, systems, legislation, transactions, business, management, and land use policy. Students can go on to specialize in real estate economics and valuation, real estate management, and land management. It is often said that sky is the limit owing to the growing Indian real estate market.
