Description
The Association of Indian Universities (AIU) serves as an organization and consortium comprising central, state, National Importance institutes, and Deemed Universities across India, with its headquarters located in Delhi. Its primary role involves the evaluation of courses, syllabi, standards, and credits from foreign universities pursued by individuals abroad, aligning them with corresponding courses offered by Indian Universities.
AIU focuses primarily on recognizing Degrees/Diplomas conferred by Indian Universities acknowledged by the University Grants Commission (UGC), New Delhi, as well as those abroad. This recognition is crucial for admission to higher degree programs in Indian Universities. Additionally, AIU functions as an implementing agency for agreements established under Cultural Exchange Programmes between India and other countries in the realm of education, specifically concerning the acknowledgment of foreign qualifications, excluding medicine and allied courses.
