The University Grants Commission (UGC) on April 26, 2024, notified regarding the implementation of the Guidelines for Admission and Supernumerary seats of International Students in Undergraduate and Postgraduate Programme in Higher Educational Institutions in India.
In order to facilitate the internationalization of Indian HEIs, the University Grants Commission has framed the guidelines for admission and creation of supernumerary seats for international students in Undergraduate and Postgraduate Programmes in HEIs in India. The guidelines were circulated earlier by UGC to all HEIs for its implementation vide its letter D.O.No.F.1-1/2022 (CPP-II) dated September 30, 2022.
It is stated that HEIs may create up to 25% supernumerary seats for international students, over and above of their total sanctioned enrolment for Undergraduate and Postgraduate programmes. Implementation of these guidelines will facilitate smooth and viable admission of international students in HEIs of India and moreover, a favourable environment will be created for attracting international students to Indian HEIs and to make India, a preferred destination for international students.
In light of the above, all Higher Educational Institutions (HEls) and their affiliated colleges/institutions are once again requested to adopt and implement the above mentioned guidelines for admission and providing supernumerary seats of international students in letter and spirit.
Kindly find the guidelines attached to the document below.
