How to obtain a No Objection Certificate

Every foreign student intending to gain admission into research programmes such as M. Phil. and Ph. D. must obtain a “No Objection Certifi cate” (NOC) (No need of NOC for UG and PG courses) from the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRDD), Government of India. One can apply for an NOC from MHRD, Government of India while applying to the University by sending a copy of the fi lled-in ‘Application Form for Admission Eligibility’ with the required enclosures. Otherwise they can wait till they get their ‘Provisional Admission Letter’ and then only apply to the MHRD, Government of India with a copy of the ‘Provisional Admission Letter’ With out the NOC from MHRD, they cannot procure ‘Research Visa’ and consequently, the University cannot fi nalize their admission. Application for NOC may be sent to: “The Deputy Secretary, Government of India, Ministry of Human Resource Development, (Department of Secondary Education and Higher Education), Loknayak Bhavan, Amritha Shergil Road, NEW DELHI.
This condition does not, however, apply to the international students sponsored by ICCR, Ministry of External Aff airs, Government of India, since all these students will be issued ‘Research Visa’ at the time of their departure to India

Decision on Admission

As soon as the processing of the applications is completed, candidates will be notifi ed of their admission status and if they are found eligible then a ‘Provisional Admission Letter’ will be issued from the University for the purpose of obtaining ‘Student Visa’, that must be endorsed to JAWAHARLAL NEHRU TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY only. However, in case of foreign students residing in India and taking EAMCET, PG Entrance Test or any other entrance tests conducted for the purpose, their admission is subject to their qualifying in the test and they will be informed of their admission after the Entrance results are announced.
