CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS There has been a remarkable growth in the numbers and kinds of certificate programs that are sought by students and working professionals throughout India. Certificate programs include corporate training programs, executive development programs, and management development programs. Certificate programs that consist of four-credit courses are of particular interest, because credits carry over to degree and diploma programs in foreign universities. Graduate and Post-graduate certificate programs are sought after in virtually every discipline, including in business, education, health sciences, information technology, humanities, and the arts. Certificate programs are of interest because of their short duration. Some of the Indian students who take up certificate programs offered by foreign universities in India may be interested in transferring to the foreign universities and complete the remainder of credits in residence for earning a degree or diploma. Certificate programs usually comprise of five or six courses and students earn a maximum of 18 to 24 credits. Certificate programs may be of two-semester duration (one year), though a few select programs of one semester duration may also be offered. Graduate and Post-graduate certificate programs of foreign universities may be offered in their entirety through Indian institutions. In addition to their existing certificate programs, foreign universities may suitably tailor their Graduate and Post-graduate degree or diploma programs and offer them as certificate programs in India. Students completing the certificate programs offered through Indian institutions will be given certificates by foreign universities. CORPORATE EDUCATION As providers of comprehensive continuing education, foreign universities can serve as partners to Indian companies and organizations in India. Foreign universities may draw on their resources as worldrenowned universities to understand Indian organizations' needs, offer expert consultation, and develop custom educational programs which would be primarily delivered by Indian instructors who are experts in their fields. Foreign universities' reputation as valuable partners and resources, and the breadth of their programs could enable them to build an impressive roster of clients and facilitate the growth of leading corporations, public agencies, and non-profit organizations in India. In graduate certificate programs, students who have completed 12th standard will be eligible for admission. In postgraduate certificate programs, students who have completed graduate degree or equivalent diploma program in any field of study will be eligible for admission. Students, who complete the certificate programs in India, will be eligible for seeking admission to graduate and post-graduate degree and diploma programs in foreign universities. Relevant tests such as TOEFL / IELTS and SAT / GMAT / GRE will be required for admission. The number of credits waived for such students will be at the discretion of foreign universities based on individual student s academic background.
