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 aliated to these universities has also grown to 37,204, as on 31st March, 2013. University Grants Commissio n 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 Universiti es 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 specic 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. 6 Overview of higher education in India 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 dened 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 rst option is to take an additional science subject as an ‘extra’ certicate. 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 Cardi oce (via the IB coordinator) at least 18 months prio r 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 medic ine 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
