The Indian Institute of Technology is likely to conduct entrance test in foreign countries from next year. The test is likely to be conducted in Singapore, UAE, SAARC nations, but Pakistan is not on the list.
The move is to select foreign students for its undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.
Reason for not conducting entrance test in Pakistan
The reason for not including Pakistan in the list is the difficulty faced by students in procuring visas for studying in India.
“Considering various factors, especially difficulties involved with regard to students procuring visas, it has been decided that entrance tests for IITs may not be conducted in Pakistan for the upcoming year,” sources said.
Seats available for Indian students will remain same
According to officials, there will be additional seats allocated for foreign nationals, which will not reduce the seats available for Indian students.
“The entrance tests to the IITs abroad have been held till now only to admit Indian nationals. This is for the first time that it has been planned to admit foreign students through tests held abroad. It is aimed that the plan would be made operational from the JEE/GATE exams to be conducted in 2017,” sources told Deccan Chronicle.
