2023/24
Foreign-student enrolment reported in the All India Survey on Higher Education.
Not a count of all NRI or returning Indian students. Citizenship, residence, school qualifications and admission route must be handled separately.
This is not a count of new arrivals and is not directly comparable with every other country.
Non-SAARC DASA example, not the fee for every Indian student. The separate registration charge is USD 300. Eligible SAARC and CIWG categories have different rates; the admitting institution may collect additional or balance fees.
Cost reference checked 2026-09-26The FAQ is undated. Its displayed component table adds to USD 400; city and housing choices can materially change the result. Not a guaranteed budget.

This is the first-semester tuition collected through DASA, not a national annual university fee. Institutional balance/other fees can apply.

Before you decide
What the brochure rarely explains
Admission is one milestone. The right decision also accounts for money, documentation, learning style and life after graduation.
India’s scale creates excellent options and weak ones. Course-level evidence matters more than marketing or a broad university label.
Medicine, engineering, law, design and other fields may involve different national, state and private entrance systems.
Location, student support, internships, teaching quality and placement transparency deserve direct comparison.
Your application route
Identify the entrance examinations and counselling process for the target course.
Verify institutional and programme accreditation.
Compare campus, faculty, placements and total cost.
For international or NRI applicants, confirm equivalency and category rules.

We can help review your profile, compare courses and institutions, prepare applications, organise documents and plan the visa and departure stages.
The useful question is not only “Can I get an offer?” It is whether the academic, financial and career logic remains strong after the excitement of admission.
Start with recognition and course quality, then verify NRI eligibility, fees, equivalency, entrance rules and accommodation.
