We have been fortunate to receive recognition of the IB Diploma by the Association of Indian Universities since 1983, and IB Courses in 2016 ( students with 24 points with 3 subjects at HL and 3 subjects at SL) which is applicable to all universities in India. The number of students completing the IB and applying to higher education institutes in India has grown substantially in the past few years. We maintain a current list of universities with written statements recognizing the IB Diploma Programme, which can be downloaded from the ‘‘Guidance on university recognition in India (2017)’’ guide at https://www.ibo.org/country/IN/ The written statements are evidence of the awareness and support by these universities. It can be useful to take print outs of recognition policies to admission officers as they may be unaware or new to the IB Diploma program. Prior to commencing the DP, students and parents must be familiar with the required subject combinations and levels required for the course of study. Please check the university/college website, make direct contact with the university/college, and talk to the DP coordinator and college counselor at the school for college-specific details.

A number of universities in India give provisional admission on the basis of predicted grades as the admissions in most Indian universities are completed by end of June and the Diploma Programme results are declared on July 6. The percentage of transcript requests to Indian universities from IB schools in India has increased substantially from 44% in 2014, 46% in 2015 & 49% in 2016. In May 2016, we processed 2103 transcript requests to colleges and universities in India. The most popular higher education destinations in India were the University of Mumbai, University of Delhi, NMIMS University, University of Pune, Christ University, Ashoka University, Manipal University, and VIT University. Students must talk to their IB Diploma program coordinator or college counselor at their school to help them through the process of admission to such universities.

All requests for current session candidates should be made through the IB coordinator at the candidate’s IB school using the request for results service option on IBIS. Requests must be submitted on IBIS before results are released on 5 July for the May session and 5 January for the November session. Any requests made after this date must be submitted by the candidate directly, using the transcripts request form from the IB website ( http://www.ibo.org/programmes/diplomaprogramme/assessment-and-exams/requesting-transcripts/). For Indian universities, the transcripts are not sent to universities directly, they are sent to the address details you will be provided in the form.
