The Government has also launched a portal www.studyinindia.gov.in, for the benefit of foreign students. The portal will serve as a single window for all aspects related to studying in India.

India wants to become a prominent centre for affordable and quality education.
The union minister of HRD, Prakash Javadekar says, “Graded autonomy will help educational institutions expand on their own. They can improve their programmes or launch new programmes as per the need and also take in foreign faculty and foreign students.”
The studyinIndia website will be supported by an App and a Helpline number.
