Why Osmania University stands out
Osmania University is a public state university in Hyderabad, established in 1917. Its international office describes it as the seventh oldest university in India and the third oldest in south India, with more than a century of teaching and alumni who have distinguished themselves nationally and internationally. That long history, combined with a dedicated Office of International Affairs, makes it a well-established choice for a foreign student.
What you can study
Foreign students can choose across arts and humanities, science, engineering and technology, commerce, management and business, law and pharmacy. The international office lists programmes including Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Engineering and Bachelor of Technology, Bachelor of Commerce, Bachelor of Business Administration, Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Pharmacy, alongside postgraduate study and doctoral research through its faculties, including pharmacy, technology and business.
International admissions
International students apply through the university’s Office of International Affairs, which sets out a step-wise process. Applicants submit a provisional admission form with attested certificates, passport copies and a photograph, and receive a provisional admission letter to obtain a student or research visa. PhD applicants also submit a research-visa application, and after arrival students obtain a residential permit from the Foreigners Regional Registration Office using a bonafide certificate from their college. The office sits in the OUCIS Building in Hyderabad and published admission notifications for foreign students for the academic year 2026-2027. See the official how-to-apply page for the full process.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which degree levels can foreign students apply for?
The international office’s application process covers undergraduate, postgraduate and PhD study: it asks for high school, undergraduate, postgraduate or PhD certificates as applicable, and sets out a separate research-visa process for PhD admissions.
How does the student visa process work?
After submitting the provisional admission form, the student receives a provisional admission letter from the international office and submits it to the Indian Embassy in their country for a student visa, or a research visa for PhD study, endorsed to Osmania University. After arrival, a residential permit is obtained from the Foreigners Regional Registration Office.
What grades are needed for engineering?
The international office’s courses page states that Bachelor of Engineering and Bachelor of Technology applicants should have at least 50% of marks in mathematics, physics and chemistry at 10+2 level or an equivalent examination. Check the official courses page for the requirements of other programmes.
