Overview of higher education in India
In India, "University" means a University established or incorporated by or under a Central Act, a Provincial Act or a State Act and includes any such institution as may, in consultation with the University concerned, be recognized by the University Grants Commission (UGC) in accordance with the regulations made in this regard under the UGC Act, 1956.
At present, the main categories of University/University-level Institutions are:
• Central University • State University • Private University • Deemed-to-be University • Institution of National Importance • Institutions under State Legislature Act
There are 45 Central Universities, 318 State Universities, 185 State Private universities, 129 Deemed to be Universities, 51 Institutions of National Importance, and 4 institutions established under various State legislations. The number of colleges affiliated to these universities has also grown to 37,204, as on 31st March, 2013.
University Grants Commission
The UGC is responsible for providing funds, coordination, determination and maintenance of standards in institutions of higher education in India. It also serves as a vital link between the Union and state governments and institutions of higher learning and advises the Central and State governments on the measures necessary for improvement of university education. The universities in India are granted recognition by UGC in accordance with the regulations made under the UGC Act, 1956. Before enrolling to a university, students must check the recognition status of the university.
Applying to Indian Universities
Entry to undergraduate courses is based on the performance in grade 12 examination and/or entrance test. Entry requirements vary from university to university and course to course. Prior to commencing the DP, students and parents must be familiar with the required subject combinations 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.
Most of the professional institutes in India today prefer to conduct entrance exams for selecting candidates. The entrance tests are in the month of April/May or June. While some institutes participate in a common entrance exam, others may conduct their own individual entrance exams. It is important to check the application deadline for each institution, as deadlines may vary. A number of universities in India accept students provisionally on the basis of predicted grades. Please talk to your school college counsellor or the IBDP coordinator to help you with the admission process.

Engineering
Admission to Undergraduate Engineering Programs at NITs, and other Centrally Funded Technical Institutions is based on the performance in the Grade 12/equivalent qualifying Examination and in the Joint Entrance Examination, JEE (Main).
For admission into IITs, the top 150, 000 candidates who qualify the JEE (MAIN) exam appear for JEE (Advanced). Admissions is based only on category-wise All India Rank (AIR) in JEE (Advanced), subject to conditions as defined in JEE (Advanced) website.
A number of universities conduct their own entrance tests as well, students should refer to the university website for the most up to date information.
Medicine
There is a requirement to study three sciences (Physics, Chemistry and Biology) for studying medicine in India. The IB gives permission to students to take the three sciences. Students can explore two options; the first option is to take an additional science subject as an ‘extra’ certificate. Although this will come with extra work, the overall score for this extra course will not count towards the IB diploma score, and therefore the utility of taking the extra course is simply to satisfy the entrance requirements for the university requiring three sciences. The second option is to apply for a non-regular IB diploma, thus allowing three sciences to be completed, usually in lieu of a group 3 (Individuals and societies) subject. A candidate may be authorized to take a non-regular diploma only if the proposed higher education course allows no other alternative. The student must contact the IB coordinator at the school to proceed with this request. Please note that this request must be submitted to the IB Cardiff office (via the IB coordinator) at least 18 months prior to the examinations. Taking three sciences only helps meet the minimum entry requirements for studying Medicine in most colleges, students often will have to sit the entrance test which may require additional tutorials.
Admission to medicine is based on the entrance test, the All India Pre-Medical/Pre-Dental Entrance Test (AIPMT) for the 15% merit positions in the Medical/Dental Colleges of India. There are also State Governments/Universities/Institutions voluntarily participating in the All India Pre-Medical/Pre-Dental Entrance Test. A number of universities conduct their own entrance test. Students should check the university websites for details on the entrance tests required.
Accreditation
National Assessment and Accreditation Council, was established by the University Grants Commission to evaluate the quality of higher education in India. In addition to that, Professional councils are responsible for recognition of courses, promotion of professional institutions and providing grants to undergraduate programmes and various awards. There are 15 professional councils in India including All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) which recognizes technical education in India and Medical Council of India (MCI) recognizes Medical education in India amongst others. Before enrolling for a professional course, students must check if the institute has the relevant accreditation.
Evaluation of Foreign Degrees
The Association of Indian Universities is a society which promotes universities activities. The Evaluation division of AIU is responsible for the work relating to equivalence of degrees/certificates awarded by the accredited foreign universities/educational institutions. The Division also provides

information to foreign students to facilitate their admission in Universities/other educational Institutions in the country.
Please note: Before enrolling to a university, students must check the recognition status of the university.

Recognition of the IB Programmes in India Since 1983 International Baccalaureate Diploma has been recognized by the Association of Indian universities as an entry qualification to all universities in India. With the requirement for percentage conversion by universities in India, students applying to Indian universities receive a transcript with IB grades and suggested percentages. In order to receive Indian Transcripts, students must notify their Diploma Programme (DP) coordinator of their plan to apply to an Indian university. The coordinator will then submit the request using the Request for results service on IBIS (secure website for IB coordinators).
Students applying to Indian Universities can apply for an equivalence certificate from AIU upon release of their results, or apply directly to the eligibility department of the university they wish to attend.
The International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme has also been given equivalence with grade 10 of an Indian Board Assessment by the Association of Indian Universities. Students having completed the MYP can apply for admission for higher studies in any school or college in India

Students must also take a copy of predicted grades with past performance in a sealed envelope for universities

Suggested Conversion for Higher Education for students applying to Indian Universities
International Baccalaureate Diploma has been recognized by the Association of Indian Universities as an entry qualification to all universities in India. With the requirement for percentage conversion by universities in India, students applying to Indian universities receive a transcript with IB grades and percentages within 1 working day from the release of results for the May and November session exams. The table below provides the range of IB grades to percentage scores. Universities in India ask for percentage conversion of the predicted grade transcript as well at the time of admission, schools may use this suggested conversion for calculating the equivalent marks on a scale of 1-100 by giving the midpoint of the range indicated for a particular grade.
