Additionally, the institutes have been requested to allocate these 25% of seats across all departments, schools, centers, or other academic divisions within the university.
Guidelines for overseas students seeking admission to undergraduate and postgraduate programs at higher education institutions (HEIs) in India have been made available by the University Grants Commission (UGC) today.
The official announcement states that higher education institutions (HEIs) may set aside up to 25% of their total sanctioned enrollment for undergraduate and graduate programs as supernumerary seats for foreign students. The concerned higher education institutions must decide how to allocate 25% of supernumerary seats in accordance with the norms and regulations established by the regulating agencies, taking into account the needs of the faculty, infrastructure, and other factors.
Nevertheless, international students enrolled in exchange programs, through Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) between institutions, or through agreements between the Government of India and other nations will not be eligible for this twenty-five percent of the supernumerary seats reserved for foreign students.
Additionally, the institutes have been requested to allocate these 25% of seats across all departments, schools, centers, or other academic divisions within the university.
UGC emphasized that supernumerary seats in UG and PG programmes should only be provided to overseas students; in other words, if a seat becomes available, no one else should be given that seat.
The statutory organizations in charge of professional and technical institute supernumerary seats will also regulate PhD seats, while the UGC’s regulations will apply to those seats.
Additionally, it is mandated that all of these institutions have a “Office for International Students” in order to keep track of year-by-year information about the number of students, country, program, subject, duration, etc.
