At 388th globally in QS 2027, it outranks several public universities on this very list, and it&#8217;s genuinely strong in Economics and Medicine.

Getting your degree attested by your state&#8217;s HRD department before it can be apostilled by the MEA takes longer than most students expect, and it&#8217;s worth starting the moment you have a provisional certificate rather than waiting for the final one.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1787833676838\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Can I apply to more than one of these universities at the same time?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes, and most Indian applicants do.
