Reconocimiento del Programa del Diploma para el ingreso a las universidades

The following agreement was revised in January 1999 and revisited in March 2005. From the May 2005 examination session, where requested, the IBO will produce and issue for universities a document detailing percentage equivalency and a transcript of results will be enclosed with the equivalency document. To request this service, students must notify their Diploma Programme (DP) coordinator of their intention to gain entrance into an Indian university. The coordinator will then submit the request using the form B2 on IBNET. The production of the equivalency document requires additional administrative processing, which may incur a fee. A fee of US$150 per school is currently being considered. If charged, this fee will be separate from the fee for sending transcripts.

Students, particularly those applying for entrance to professional courses, can either apply to the AIU upon release of their results, specifying what professional courses they are applying for, or apply directly to the eligibility department of the university they wish to attend.

Students should also apply to the IBO sub-regional office in Mumbai for a migration certificate. For a number of courses in India, an equivalence certificate will not preclude the requirement for students to sit the entrance examinations, for example, Common Entrance Tests (CET). Prior to commencing the DP, students and DP coordinators must be familiar with the required subject combinations and levels for the student's future career path; this should ensure students' eligibility for particular professional courses.

Requirements for professional courses admission

Medical courses: Higher Level passes in physics, chemistry and biology with Standard Level passes in English A1, A2 or B. The medical degree courses include MBBS, BDS, B. Pharm., nursing and BPT.
Engineering courses: Higher Level passes in physics, chemistry and mathematics with Standard Level passes in English A1, A2 or B. Engineering courses include B. Eng. in all streams - civil, mechanical, electrical, electronics, instrumentation, computer, aeronautical engineering and so on.

The sub-regional office in Mumbai outlines separately the admission requirements for professional courses for students who are citizens of a country other than India who may wish to study in India. Students of Indian nationality with the IB diploma may compete with other students for the State Level/All India Entrance Examination.

Payment seats in professional courses (engineering and medicine) are also offered on a restricted basis to any student on payment of an economic fee (commonly called the capitation fee in India).

Additional information and further assistance can be obtained by writing to the joint secretary of the AIU or to the IB Asia-Pacific South Asia regional representative.
