Information
The Government on Monday announced liberal rules for granting student visa. There will be no bar or restriction on the number of courses a foreign student may pursue and each time the periodicity of the visa will be counted afresh.

The student will be permitted to take multiple courses in one institution or multiple institutions, provided the institutions are recognised and reputed. State governments and Foreigners Regional Registration Offices (FRROs) have been empowered to extend student visa within the parameters of the liberalised visa regime, an official release said here.

With the rapid expansion of the education sector in India in recent years, the need to liberalise the existing student visa regime was being felt and the liberalised regime would aim to make it more user-friendly, the release said.
