Qualifications
Admission to an Indian Masters degree will usually require you to have completed a course of undergraduate study in a relevant field. Because Indian universities use the three-tiered degree structure employed in many other higher education systems (with undergraduate Bachelors degrees followed in turn by postgraduate Masters and PhD research programmes) you will probably find that most international undergraduate degrees will be recognised without any problems. If in doubt, get in touch with your institution early in order to confirm that your qualifications are suitable.
Some Indian universities may set additional entrance examinations. This is more likely at the prestigious Institutes of National Importance, where competition for places may be high. On the whole though entrance examinations are far less likely to be required by Masters courses than by PhD programs.
