‘The maximum number of applicants are from Afghanistan and Iraq, and in both cases the admissions is sought mostly for PhD courses. Most candidates seeking admission to PhD courses are college teachers. The university clears their application on the basis of their academic merit and English speaking skills. The other mandatory clearances are done by the ICCR, which in fact sponsors the studies of a large number of foreign students in Indian universities,’ said Professor Sabu Joseph, director of Centre for Global Academics at the university.
