Mr. Dharmendra Pradhan and Mr. S. Jaishankar jointly launched Study in India (SII) Portal in New Delhi

Union Education and Skill Development & Entrepreneurship Minister Mr. Dharmendra Pradhan and Union External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar jointly launched Study in India (SII) Portal in New Delhi, in line with Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi's vision of re-establishing India as a global hub of education.

On the occasion, students from Russia, Thailand, Japan, Ethiopia, Ecuador, Kazakhstan, and the Republic of Korea who are currently studying in India, presented souvenirs from their culture as a token of respect to dignitaries.

A specialised website, “Study in India Portal” will offer in-depth details about Indian Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). The website will illustrate academic programmes, including but not restricted to undergraduate (UG), postgraduate (PG), and doctoral level programmes, as well as courses in the Indian Knowledge System, such as yoga, ayurveda, classical arts, etc. Information regarding academic facilities, research support, and related topics will be available on the website portal. The new website will now have the provision for students to apply to more than one institute/course of their choice. The new portal will provide an integrated one-stop solution for the student registration and visa application process.

Speaking at the event, Mr. Dharmendra Pradhan stated that SII Portal is a one-stop shop that will streamline the academic experience for foreign students in India. The SII Portal, which is inspired by the National Education Policy (NEP), demonstrates the dedication to making India a popular education destination and to erasing academic boundaries in order to create a successful future, he continued. The Study in India Portal would be a crucial step in making India a popular choice among students all over the world for higher education, according to him.

The Study in India programme involves a partnership with educational institutes fulfilling one of the following criteria:

• National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF)ranking (<=100)
• National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) accreditation score (>=3.01)
• Institutes of National Importance (INI)

This ensures premier institutions being the partner to enrolling international students coming to study in India.

For overseas students looking for higher education options in Indian Higher Education Institutes, the Study in India programme offers a streamlined and well-organized application process. The online platform makes the entire process easier for students, enabling them to choose their desired courses, obtain institute offer letters, and successfully follow their academic aspirations in India. This includes everything from registration to visa approval. By providing a seamless experience, the SII programme continues to attract talented and ambitious students from around the world to study in India's vibrant and culturally diverse academic environment.

The Government of India's flagship initiative, Study in India, is run by the Ministry of Education (MoE). The goal of the Study in India scheme is to attract more foreign students to India. The programme also aims to make India the top study destination by offering an inexpensive, high-quality education that meets international standards, helping to raise the bar for all of higher education. The Study in India programme aims to make it easier for international students to enrol in these classes and promote India's academic excellence.
