India Launches Study in India Portal to Make it Easier for International Students to Apply
India has launched a unified portal to simplify the application and visa process for international students. The portal, called the Study in India (SII) portal, is a collaboration between the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Home Affairs, and Ministry of External Affairs.
The SII portal offers a single platform for international students to apply to 240 higher education institutions in India. Students can select from a diverse range of 2,650 courses and submit multiple applications at once. The portal is also integrated with the Indian visa issuance system, making it easier for students to apply for a visa.
The launch of the SII portal is a major step towards making India a more attractive destination for international students. The portal is in line with the National Education Policy, which aims to make India a global leader in education.
Here are some of the key benefits of the SII portal for international students:
- A single platform to apply to multiple institutions
- A wider range of courses to choose from
- A simplified visa application process
- A more streamlined and efficient application process
The SII portal is a welcome development for international students who are looking to study in India. The portal makes it easier for students to find the right institution and course, and it also simplifies the visa application process. This is likely to make India a more attractive destination for international students in the years to come.
