India is a country which contains hundreds of medical colleges and thousands of medical students graduating each year. A fair number of students actively involve themselves in research at a local or national or even international level. INFORMER, The Forum for Medical Students' Research, India is a step towards bringing those interested in research to a common platform.
INFORMER is an all India medical students' body aimed at advocacy and promotion of research amongst undergraduate medical students and to encourage them to present their research work at a national level by means of the annual conference organized by the forum. It is an institution comprising of a group of medical students who attempt to keep the spirit of research alive among the student community. INFORMER was formed in 2009 in response to there being a lack of an advocate for undergraduate medical students in the country. Over the past 3 years, we have diversified base of activities which now include our annual flagship conference (Medicon), an online journal club,collaborative research projects, a research project mentoring forum, workshops which promote evidence-based medicine,medical quizzes, case presentation conferences etc.

Long and short-term academic programs are available in India across many universities and educational centers. International students and researchers may apply to BA, MA, Ph.D., and postdoctoral research programs in India. Moreover, summer schools and conferences are other excellent academic activities that make India an attractive destination for scholars and scientists. Many programs also come with fully-funded scholarships and fellowships as well as travel grants and financial aid, thus every student, researcher, and professor can always find a suitable program in India and apply.
The world consistently talks about the development of India, the second largest population holding country in the world. However, India is yet a country of big contrasts : the high volumes of unemployment, illiteracy, and early marriages go in parallel with powerful technological advancements and significant educational reforms.
So, be prepared to experience both Indias when applying for international studies there.
In this section of ARMACAD, we focus on presenting you India as an academic destination, which is quite attractive as such. If you want to receive a quality education on the latest advanced areas like Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Reality, meanwhile have a chance to explore exciting niche courses like Cognitive Computing to Yoga, Ayurveda, and Sanskrit, India is the right place . A pleasant bonus that you will pay up to 4 times less for Indian education than for U.S. or E.U. similar programs .
India has a sufficient education infrastructure for welcoming international students. There are more than 800 universities, 39,000 colleges, which together can host 20 mln students a year.
Purely depending on the countries' university statistics, India's leading programs are provided on engineering and technology subjects. This statement relies on the fact that most Indian Universities included in QS India and QS India University Rankings are Indian Institutes of Technology.
The Top 3 IITs include :
Out of tech sphere limits, the below list also presents the globally ranked Indian universities according to U.S. News Rankings.
The oldest universities in India date back to the 1800s, including the Senate of Serampore College (1818) and Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee (1847).
The first thing you need to know about India's student expenses is that government supports international students only after they are in the country for three consecutive years.
Moreover, for receiving a student visa to India, you should prove the way you are going to fund your stay in the country without working there.
So, unlike other countries, government scholarships are not the most popular education funding providers in India. Double-check the presented funding opportunities of this section to fill this gap.
In case you are going to live on your financial resources in India, the below-estimated picture of international student costs will help you estimate your budget.
International students mainly settle in the capital Delhi and the largest city Mumbai. Those two cities have approximately the same level of expensiveness. Generally, even though India currently experiences an economic breakthrough, its living costs are still markedly lower than in China, Japan, and South Korea.
So, the average tuition fee per academic year is 3,300-7,800 in India . Medicine and engineering courses are the most expensive, as they require frequent use of facilities. For some Ph.D. programs, there is a monthly stipend of 340$.
Coming to accommodation, some universities offer dormitories, called halls of residence. The rent for such halls is between 700-2,000$ per academic year and often includes utilities such as the internet.
If you do not have a Bhutanese or Nepalese passport or don't hold an Overseas Citizen of India status, there is a visa requirement to study in India. An important note here is that you should have a machine-readable passport along with the visa, as it's the main mandatory requirement for entering the country.
To receive a visa, you will need to complete the following steps:
All the documents required for the visa should be translated either to English or Hindi. Generally, English is quite widespread in India; however, the primary and government language is Hindi, so you might need the translations of the application documents.
An Indian study visa is valid for up to 5 years. Depending on which countries' passport you hold, the visa may cost 13-118 USD.
If you need additional information on India's studies, visit the Indian Ministry of Education's official website . We hope this article will help you to construct your dream academic path in India.

Students often go into medicine because of a desire to help others and improve patients’ physical and mental wellbeing. In the early years of medical school, however, it can seem as if you are not making much difference to patient care. Involvement in research can provide exciting opportunities to work as part of a team, improve career prospects, and most importantly add to the evidence base, leading to better outcomes for patients.
Research is usually multidisciplinary, including clinical academics (medical doctors who spend part of their working life doing research), nurses, patients, scientists, and researchers without a medical background. Involvement in such a team can improve your communication skills and expand your understanding of how a multidisciplinary team works.
Participating in research can also help you to develop skills in writing and critical appraisal through the process of publishing your work. You may be able to present your work at conferences—either as a poster or an oral presentation—and this can provide valuable points for job applications at both foundation programme and core training level. This is particularly important if you are considering a career in academia. You will also develop skills in time management, problem solving, and record keeping. You might discover an area of medicine in which you are keen to carry out further work. For some people, getting involved in research as a medical student can be the first step in an academic career.
