Indianexpress.com talked to the UGC Chairman, M Jagadesh Kumar, to understand the new guidelines and future plans for bringing more and more international students to Indian institutions. Jagadesh Kumar responded to the questions over an email.
Q: Before this, higher education institutions (HEIs) in India were admitting foreign students. What exactly changes with the new provision of supernumerary seats?
Jagadesh Kumar: From 2000 onwards, UGC has created a provision of 15 per cent supernumerary seats across different disciplines in educational institutions. In the present guidelines, there is a provision for 25 per cent supernumerary seats for international students in HEIs.
Regarding admissions, present guidelines provide that Indian HEIs may admit international students based on the equivalence of entry qualifications held by them. The equivalence is to be determined by the University Grants Commission (UGC) or any other body recognised by the UGC for such purpose or the concerned regulatory bodies of the country. HEIs may adopt a transparent admission process for admitting international students.
