Overview of higher
education in India
• Central University
• State University
• Private University
• Deemed-to-be University
• Institution of National Importance
• Institutions under State Legislature Act
There are 45 Central Universities, 318 State Universities, 185 State Private universities, 129 Deemed
to be Universities, 51 Institutions of National Importance, and 4 institutions established under various
State legislations.The number of colleges affiliated to these universities has also grown to 37,204, as
on 31st March, 2013.
The UGC is responsible for providing funds, coordination, determination and maintenance of standards
in institutions of higher education in India. It also serves as a vital link between the Union and state
governments and institutions of higher learning and advises the Central and State governments on the
measures necessary for improvement of university education. The universities in India are granted
recognition by UGC in accordance with the regulations made under the UGC Act, 1956. Before enrolling
to a university, students must check the recognition status of the university.
Entry to undergraduate courses is based on the performance in grade 12 examination and/or entrance
test. Entry requirements vary from university to university and course to course. Prior to commencing
the DP, students and parents must be familiar with the required subject combinations and levels for the
student's future career path; this should ensure students' eligibility for particular professional courses.
A student interested in studying an undergraduate course must make direct contact with the college or
university he or she would like to attend to check specific course and entry requirements.
Most of the professional institutes in India today prefer to conduct entrance exams for selecting candidates.
The entrance tests are in the month of April/May or June. While some institutes participate in a common
entrance exam, others may conduct their own individual entrance exams. It is important to check the
application deadline for each institution, as deadlines may vary. A number of universities in India accept
students provisionally on the basis of predicted grades. Please talk to your school college counsellor or
the IBDP coordinator to help you with the admission process.

Overview of higher
education in India
Engineering
Admission to Undergraduate Engineering Programs at NITs, and other Centrally Funded Technical
Institutions is based on the performance in the Grade 12/equivalent qualifying Examination and in
the Joint Entrance Examination, JEE (Main).
For admission into IITs, the top 150, 000 candidates who qualify the JEE (MAIN) exam appear for JEE
(Advanced). Admissions is based only on category-wise All India Rank (AIR) in JEE (Advanced),
subject to conditions as defined in JEE (Advanced) website.
A number of universities conduct their own entrance tests as well, students should refer to the
university website for the most up to date information.
Medicine
There is a requirement to study three sciences (Physics, Chemistry and Biology) for studying
medicine in India. The IB gives permission to students to take the three sciences.Students can explore
two options; the first option is to take an additional science subject as an ‘extra’ certificate. Although
this will come with extra work, the overall score for this extra course will not count towards the IB
diploma score, and therefore the utility of taking the extra course is simply to satisfy the entrance
requirements for the university requiring three sciences.The second option is to apply for a non-regular
IB diploma, thus allowing three sciences to be completed, usually in lieu of a group 3
(Individuals and societies) subject. A candidate may be authorized to take a non-regular diploma only if
the proposed higher education course allows no other alternative. The student must contact the
IB coordinator at the school to proceed with this request.Please note that this request must be submitted
to the IB Cardiff office (via the IB coordinator) at least 18 months prior to the examinations.
Taking three sciences only helps meet the minimum entry requirements for studying Medicine in most
colleges, students often will have to sit the entrance test which may require additional tutorials.
Admission to medicine is based on the entrance test, the All India Pre-Medical/Pre-Dental Entrance Test
(AIPMT) for the 15% merit positions in the Medical/Dental Colleges of India. There are also State
Governments/Universities/Institutions voluntarily participating in the All India Pre-Medical/Pre-Dental
Entrance Test. A number of universities conduct their own entrance test. Students should check the
university websites for details on the entrance tests required.
Accreditation
National Assessment and Accreditation Council, was established by the University Grants Commission
to evaluate the quality of higher education in India. In addition to that, Professional councils are
responsible for recognition of courses, promotion of professional institutions and providing grants to
undergraduate programmes and various awards. There are 15 professional councils in India including
All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) which recognizes technical education in India and
Medical Council of India (MCI) recognizes Medical education in India amongst others. Before enrolling
for a professional course, students must check if the institute has the relevant accreditation.
The Association of Indian Universities is a society which promotes universities activities. The Evaluation
division of AIU is responsible for the work relating to equivalence of degrees/certificates

awarded by the accredited foreign universities/educational institutions. The Division also provides
information to foreignstudents to facilitate their admission in Universities/other educational Institutions
in the country.
Please note: Before enrolling to a university, students must check the recognition status of the university.

Recognition of the IB
Programmes in India
Since 1983 International Baccalaureate Diploma has been recognized by the Association of Indian
universities as an entry qualification to all universities in India. With the requirement for percentage
conversion by universities in India, students applying to Indian universities receive a transcript with
IB grades and suggested percentages. In order to receive Indian Transcripts, students must notify
their Diploma Programme (DP) coordinator of their plan to apply to an Indian university. The
coordinator will then submit the request using the Request for results service on IBIS
(secure website for IB coordinators). Students applying to Indian Universities can apply foran
equivalence certificate from AIU upon release of their results, or apply directly to the eligibility
department of the university they wish to attend. The International Baccalaureate Middle Years
Programme has also been given equivalence with grade 10 of an IndianBoard Assessment by the
Association of Indian Universities. Students having completed the MYP can apply at any school or
junior college in India.
