Guidelines for Inbound Students

Mandatory Registration

Starting from the academic year 2025-26, it is mandatory for all inbound international students to register on the Study in India (SII) portal of the Union Government of India (GOI), irrespective of their duration of study and/or stay in India. This registration will generate a Unique ID, which must be quoted in visa applications. No international student will be able to obtain a student visa without registering on the SII portal.

About Study in India (SII) Portal

The GOI launched the Study in India (SII) portal in August 2023 with an objective to facilitate the admission process for foreign students who wish to pursue either long-term or short-term courses in India. The SII portal enables foreign students to apply for admissions and receive offer letters from Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) registered on the platform.
