What happens after pre-enrolment is approved on Universitaly?
The Italian university issues a Letter of Eligibility for Enrolment. This is then used to book a student visa appointment at the Italian embassy. After arriving in Italy, they have to apply for a Residence Permit. That too within 8 working days.

Is Universitaly mandatory for all international students applying to Italy?
It's mandatory for non-EU/EFTA students who need pre-enrolment to apply for a student visa.
Upvote Yes. Creating an account and completing pre-enrolment on Universitaly is free. Student visa and consular fees are separate. They are paid directly to the embassy or consulate.
Upvote Can international students get permanent residency in Italy?

Upvote Yes, for Indian students specifically - not for Italian admission itself, but because India's NMC requires a qualifying NEET score to later issue your eligibility certificate and let you sit the FMGE/NExT exam after graduating. These exams are required for practising back in India.
Upvote What is the IMAT exam in Italy and why do I need it if I've already given NEET?
The IMAT (International Medical Admissions Test) is the entrance exam Italian public universities actually use to rank and select candidates for English-taught Medicine and Surgery programs - NEET alone won't get you a seat.
IMAT is a 100-minute, 60-question test covering reading comprehension, logi
