The International Admissions Office at LANCASTER Degree College helps the foreign/NRI students with the process of admission to the 15% of the total seats for students available to the foreign/NRI category in various programs.

Foreign students are eligible if they meet the eligibility requirements as prescribed by the various statutory bodies in India or if they get an ‘Equivalency Certificate’ for certain qualifications from the Association of Indian Universities, granted by UGC.
