However, those PIOs who do not have PIO or OCI card have to apply for the student visa.

2. International Candidates should produce the following:

(i) Proof of age
(ii) Proof of nationality
(iii) 12th Grade mark sheet
(iv) Photograph

3. Application form with all details furnished.

4. Photocopies of the following

(I) International bank account passbook (front page photocopy)
(II) Passport copy of student.

5. Equivalence Certificate issued by the Association of Indian Universities (AIU)

6. Certificates of Educational Qualifications
