    You would need to write your proposal in about 10-20 pages which would entail a brief on the topic of your choice. This proposal would be sent to a supervisor/guide related to your area/subject of research.

  4. How can I apply for professional courses like M.B.B.S., Dentistry, Pharmacy, Engineering, M.B.A. etc.?
    International students wishing to opt for professional courses would have to apply in the same manner like any other International students but would also need to obtain a "No Objection Certificate" from the Government of India.

  5. How much do I need to budget for my studying, cost of living and accommodation?
    The cost of studying at Bharati Vidyapeeth University compares favourably with universities of similar standing in other countries where English is the medium of instruction. However the monthly living expenses including accommodation, food, transport etc. all vary from individual to individual and it depends on the life style that the student adopts.

  6. Can I post or fax my application to International Students' Office of the Bharati Vidyapeeth University?
    Yes, you can, but please see that you send a compete application form available in International Student Prospectus or our web site, and make sure that you include attested copies of your academic documents.

  7. Does Bharati Vidyapeeth University accept late applications?
    As far as possible we try to make the student apply in time as this will save a lot of disappointment on the side of the student. But if you can not for some reason apply in time we would try our best to accommodate your application. Late applications will be accepted and considered but there is no guarantee that they can be processed in time for the proposed intake or that there will be a seat available in your selected course. All on time applications will be processed before late applications are assessed.

  8. I haven't received my academic results yet can I still enroll at Bharati Vidyapeeth University?
    It would be difficult to process your application form. But at the same time you could write to us or fax us your letter-we would put it aside and try our best to process it on receiving your final results. In the mean time you could enroll for our English Language Certificate Course (ELCC).

  9. Should I send the original copies of my academic transcripts/qualifications? Who can certify my documents?
    No, as documents that are submitted to International Students' Office will not be returned, we advise students not to send originals. You may therefore send an attested copy of the original, which is a true copy of the original that has been stamped and signed as a true copy by either the Indian Mission in your home country or the Ministry of Education in your home country or the Student Mission in India. Documents which are not in English must be accompanied by a certified English language translation. But when you come in person, you must bring along with you all your original documents which would include transcripts, certificates, passport etc.
