JNU will now allow international students to enrol at its School of Engineering

International students will now be able to enrol at the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU)’s School of Engineering.

In a meeting held on 22 June, JNU’s apex Academic Council approved a proposal for 15 per cent supernumerary seats for foreign students at the School of Engineering. The thought behind the move is that it will help the school internationalise its student input, bringing in diversity.

The minimum eligibility criteria and other ancillary requirements for this programme are defined through the Ministry of Human Resource Development’s Direct Admission for Students from Abroad or information technology vs computer science. Screening and admission under DASA is primarily based on SAT subject scores (Mathematics Level-II, Physics and Chemistry).

However, because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the admission process is delayed for this year, and is expected to start in September.

JNU vice-chancellor Mamidala Jagadesh Kumar told ThePrint: “Particularly those foreign nationals residing in NCR and in the rest of the country would find this opportunity highly rewarding.”
