In educational institutions all around india, 25% more seats are being made available to international students. These international students won't have to go through the process of taking entrance exams. Foreigners will be regarded as all pupils with foreign passports. Foreign-passport holding indian students who are living abroad would also be eligible to enrol in reputable universities across india without taking entrance exams.
Foreign students will not be required to take entrance exams, but an established admissions procedure that will be entirely transparent is being developed. Higher education institutions must also establish a "office of international affairs" with a focus on the needs of overseas students. Foreign students are being given wide facilities in the areas of visas and the Foreigners Regional Registration office (FRRO), in addition to the education Ministry and the university Grants Commission (UGC) taking major steps to facilitate their enrollment into indian educational institutions.
In addition to FRRO or e-FRRO, a single point of contact is being developed for the registration of international students. Nationwide institutions of higher learning will now be authorised to add 25% more seats to their campuses. The UGC has granted the go-ahead for this arrangement to universities all around the nation. This approval, along with guidelines for the admission of international students and supernumerary seats (seats above the sanctioned intake approved by the appropriate authority and the government) in undergraduate and postgraduate programmes at indian higher educational institutions, was given by the UGC at its 560th meeting on august 18.
