Currently, there are more than 100 international students, who are mainly from Nepal, Bhutan, and Gulf and African countries. These students are enrolled with the University and its affiliated colleges. Their numbers are increasing every year, Verma said after releasing a separate admission brochure for international students for the academic year 2022-23.
The registrar of the university, Shailendra Singh Parihar, said that there are so many attributes of the university that attract international students. The varsity has a plethora of academic programmes, it has a locational advantage due to its proximity to the Delhi airport, it has 15 per cent extra seats in various programmes for international students, Parihar said as mentioned some of the attributes of the varsity, as reported by PTI.
Vijita Singh Aggarwal, director, of international affairs, said 15 per cent extra seats of the sanctioned intake of various programmes at the university's schools and specialised centres, except in the school of architecture and planning, are earmarked for international students. The university said that in admissions, the first preference will be given to candidates applying through the ICCR fellowship. The remaining seats will be filled through other international candidates on merit basis on qualifying exams.
"The BAMS, BHMS and BSc Yoga programmes available at affiliated institutes of the university are only for ICCR sponsored candidates. “English proficiency test scores of TOEFL or IELTS are required to apply through this route, however, applicants of Nepal and Tibet are exempted,” the university said.
