To ensure high standard, University / institutes with accreditation of NAAC (A and above) rating / NIRF (rank between 1 – 150) are listed on A2A Scholarship Portal for admission of foreign students through ICCR.

Applicants have the option to apply to 5 Universities / institutes in the order of their preference of study. The admission, as far as possible, shall be given as per applicant’s preference. However, there may be a scenario when students do not get admission in their preferred Universities / institutes due to limited number of seats on offer. Students should therefore be prepared to receive admission from any of their five preferences.
