COMMON QUESTIONS
A little clarity
goes a long way.
Are these resources free?
Yes. You can read every guide and use the printable worksheets without submitting your contact details. Personal counselling is a separate service.
Does every international programme let me study entirely in India?
Check the route year by year. Some programmes are taught at an Indian campus; other routes involve study in multiple countries. Ask about the location, progression conditions and cost of every stage.
Where should I check current eligibility and deadlines?
Use the official page for the exact programme, campus and intake. Record the date you checked it and ask the admissions office if information conflicts. Our programme directory links to official sources.
Does meeting the minimum eligibility guarantee admission?
No. Check the institution’s complete selection process, including any assessments or other requirements. Minimum eligibility alone does not establish an admission outcome.
How do I compare an undergraduate course with an executive programme?
Start with your current qualification and goal. Check each programme’s intended audience, entry requirements and exact award before comparing curriculum, format and cost.
Do you guarantee admission or scholarships?
No. Institutions make admissions and scholarship decisions. Counselling can help you understand options and prepare your application; it cannot guarantee a result.
Are all the institutions in the directory your partners?
The directory provides research starting points. Inclusion does not by itself indicate a partnership or mean that a programme is suitable for you.
Can a parent use these guides with a student?
Yes. Try reading the shortlist guide separately, then compare your priorities together. The parent conversation guide provides a simple agenda for that discussion.
Can you help us compare Indian universities with international campuses in India?
Yes. We bring the course, eligibility, award, campus experience and full cost into the same comparison. The best starting point is the student’s interests and current qualification, followed by the specific programmes available.
Do international campuses in India offer both undergraduate and postgraduate degrees?
The level depends on the campus and course. Our directory distinguishes undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) research entries. Some campuses focus on master’s study; do not assume a course available overseas is also available in India.
How do you assess a newly launched campus?
We look at the published course, teaching arrangements, facilities, student support, award and campus-specific career provision. We also distinguish an advertised course or planned campus from an established local teaching operation.
Can you help after we receive an offer?
We can help you compare course fit, offer conditions, scholarship terms and the full programme budget, and organise the practical next steps before you decide.
