Who Qualifies as a Foreign National? 

Foreign nationals, meaning individuals who are not citizens of India by birth or naturalisation, are eligible to apply for admission under a special provision that allows up to 10% of the seats in each academic session. However, they are not entitled to any reservation benefits that apply to Indian candidates, such as those based on caste or economic background.  

Additionally, no specific seat reservations are available for female candidates in the foreign national category. 

Applicants holding Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) or Person of Indian Origin (PIO) cards issued before March 4, 2021, have the flexibility to apply in either category. They may register as Indian nationals and follow the same admission process as Indian students, or they may choose to apply as foreign nationals, depending on their preference.
