Why University of Hyderabad stands out
The University of Hyderabad is a central university based at Gachibowli in Hyderabad, and it gives a high priority to the internationalisation of its teaching and research. It has accepted students from countries across Asia, Africa and beyond, and its Study in India Program also draws short-term students from Europe and North America.
What you can study
Programmes span the sciences, computer science and artificial intelligence, engineering, humanities and social sciences, with integrated, postgraduate and doctoral options. International students join the same departments and schools as Indian students, subject to approval by the Admissions Committee of the department or school concerned.
International admissions
Foreign nationals are admitted over and above the approved intake, up to 15% of the intake in each course. Applicants need the qualifying degree and marks set for Indian students, plus IELTS Academic 6.5 or TOEFL internet-based 80. Applications may be sent at any time during the year, but the deadline for consideration in an academic year is 15 April. Full details are on the official international students page.
