Study In India

The Study in India (SII) program is a flagship project of Ministry of Education (MoE), Government of India to encourage international students to explore educational opportunities at top Indian universities. The SII program has constructed a seamless system for students to register for the program and explore courses across prestigious Indian institutes.   Concomitantly,  SII portal (https://studyinindia.gov.in/), a key initiative aimed at promoting India as a global destination for higher education was jointly launched on 3rd August 2023 by the Ministry of Education (MoE), Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA).

2. The Indian Education system is the world's second largest Higher Education System with more than 800 universities, 39,000 colleges and an enrolling capacity of 20 million students. Higher Education Institutions in India offer courses/degrees that are competitive in the world market in terms of quality but are delivered at one fourth the cost, hence guaranteeing value-for-money education.

3. The SII portal is a one-stop platform that facilitates admission procedures, course applications, and visa formalities for international students wishing to pursue undergraduate, postgraduate, short-term, or research-based academic programs in India. It serves as a seamless digital gateway to India’s higher education ecosystem.  All foreign students who wish to study in India are required to register on the SII portal and submit the required information. Upon successful registration, a unique ID (SII-ID) is generated. This ID is mandatory for applying for an Indian student visa (e-Student Visa) through the Indian Visa Portal.
