Exemption from All-India Entrance Examination requirement

Non-resident Indian Students and Foreign students are exempted from taking the All India Entrance Examinations conducted by Sri Ramachandra University for admission.

If an NRI or Foreign student wants to take the entrance examinations he can seek the application for the same from the Registrar.

As the number of seats in this category is limited, parents and students are encouraged to contact the Registrar’s office at the earliest possibility. On the basis of the information provided in the format given, a process of screening will take place and the eligibility will be assessed. Once accepted to the course the Candidate will be notified by E-mail/letter

The same can be sent as E-mail attachments also (Please do not send original documents at this stage). All original documents will be verified and accepted only at the time of admission. If the student is in the middle of 12th grade, the transcripts should include all the courses taken as of the date of sending the information. The final original transcripts and the High School Diploma have to be submitted on the day of admission.

On the day of admission a formal detailed application form filled in with particulars about local guardians, contact numbers if any etc will be received along with passport size photographs and other necessary credentials for the records.
