Creating an academic destination for foreign students requires certain conditions.
-
The University Grants Commission has instructed higher education institutions to add up to 25% of supernumerary seats over their sanctioned total exclusively for foreign students. This is a first step because overseas candidates studying undergraduate and postgraduate courses need to be accommodated apart from students from within the country. Simple and transparent admission processes and a student-friendly atmosphere could gradually turn India into an international academic hub as envisaged by the National Education Policy, 2020. To streamline the process, the UGC has asked for dedicated offices for foreign students and the notification of programmes, fees and eligibility criteria on the HEIs’ websites.
