Admission Requirements for International Students

Case Study: India

General Requirements

First or Second Division standing in one of the following:
  • All India Senior School Certificate awarded by CBSE
  • Indian School Certificate awarded by CISCE
  • Other pre-university certificate awarded after 12 years of academic studies

Course Requirements

  • Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and English at the Standard XII level, one additional course at the Standard XII level.

Academic Performance Requirements

Although each school has its own criteria based on previous application years and how competitive the current batch of applicants is, you will most likely want to keep your marks above 80%. Keep in mind that each application is considered uniquely, and extra-curricular activities and other factors are also taken into consideration when an applicant does not quite meet the marks required. Check with the schools and programs or departments themselves for more specifics.
