SUPPORT AND SERVICES FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

Office of International Affairs (OIA) is a nodal point to contact for any query regarding admissions of International Students or for Study abroad programs. Students can also be admitted under Exchange Programs for which there should be a Memorandum of Understanding.

  • Social and cultural events – The OIA offers students a taste of Chandigarh and various cultures by hosting cultural and social activities.

Examination and Award of Degree
The process of examination, grading, and award of the degree is no different from that of Indian students.
