Introduction

This booklet provides examples of recognition of Cambridge International Examinations qualifications in universities and colleges in
India. Cambridge International A and AS Levels, Cambridge IGCSE and Cambridge O levels have long been recognised by the
Association of Indian Universities (AIU) and this information is published in the Equivalence of Foreign degrees published by the AIU.
Universities and colleges in India are autonomous but in general follow the recommendations of the AIU.

All recognition is entered into our recognitions database by going to http://www.cie.org.uk/qualifications/recognition. You can search the
database by qualification and by country and get the most up-to-date information available. If universities or colleges would like to be
included they should complete the online form at the link above or send an email to info@cie.org.uk
The number of recognition statements from Indian universities and colleges is growing rapidly and this booklet will be updated on a
regular basis.
