Higher Education in India
In India the central government is responsible for major policy relating to higher education in the country. It provides grants to University Grants Commission (UGC) and establishes central universities in the country. The Association of Indian Universities (AIU) is a society which promotes universities activities. International Baccalaureate Diploma has been recognized by the Association of Indian universities as an entry qualification to all universities in India since 1983 and renewed in 2010. The IBO produces and issues for universities a document detailing percentage equivalency along with the transcript of results. To request this service, students must notify their Diploma Programme (DP) coordinator of their intention to gain entrance into an Indian university. The coordinator will then submit the request using the Request for results service on IBIS (secured website for IB coordinators).
Entry requirements vary from university to university and course to course. Prior to commencing the DP (Diploma Programme), students and parents must be familiar with the required subject combination and levels for the student's future career path; this should ensure students' eligibility for particular professional courses. A student interested in studying an undergraduate course must make direct contact with the college or university he or she would like to attend to check specific course and entry requirements.
