“In the first phase, registration is open for institutions which have admitted international students as per the latest AISHE data. In the second phase, registration will be opened for other institutions who desire to register and are otherwise eligible to admit foreign students,” reads the official assertion of UGC and AICTE.
Educational establishments within the State have welcomed the initiative. “International students interested to study in India had to do their own homework.
