India has 26 overseas study centers in 15 countries. Around 2000 international students are studying at IGNOU.“Under the e-Vidya Bharati project of MEA, 50 of our programmes will be offered to 23 African countries, for which the registrations are on,” says Nageshwar Rao, vice-chancellor, IGNOU.
The UGC has amended the Open and Distance Learning (ODL) Programmes and Online Programme guidelines which will allow international students to initiate the admission process to Indian universities through the e-Vidyabharati portal of the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA).
