Nomination Process

Exchange Coordinator of host university should send us formal nomination through link provided with student’s details such as student first name, last name, valid email id and current degree etc. This should be done five months in advance of the arrival so that there is enough time to complete all formalities. We will send a letter of acceptance, visa request letter and information package once we hear from the exchange coordinator. A brief orientation programme will be held before the term begins.
