CIMEA Italy is a fully digital credential evaluation done through the DiploMe platform. The Declaration of Value (DOV) is a physical document issued by the Italian Embassy or Consulate in India. Both are accepted for the Italian student visa. However, CIMEA is much faster and preferred by most Italian universities for the 2027 intake. DOV from Indian consulates can take several months due to high demand.

Yes — international students can study at very low cost in Italy, but it's not exactly “free” for everyone.
How it works
Public universities in Italy charge tuition, but it's quite low compared to other countries (often €500–€3,000 per year). On top of that, there are scholarships that can reduce this to almost zero.
Main ways to study for free (or nearly free)
1. Regional scholarships (DSU)
- Available to international students
- Based on family income (not just marks)
- Can cover:
- Full tuition fee waiver
- Free accommodation
- Free meals
- Extra stipend (~€3,000–€7,000/year)
This is the most common way students study “for free” in Ital
