However, admission of Foreign Nationals will be considered only if the case has been sent to Panjab University by ICCR or any Ministry of Govt. of India subject to the condition that the Foreign National is eligible to seek admission as per the regulations of the course.
As the eligibility conditions for admission under NRI category have been revised from the academic session 2018-18, so the admission under NRI category through any already approved scheme of Government of India, including DASA (UIET/UICET) is not permissible.
