Before applying to any programme at Ohio University, international students must complete the following requirements: Eligibility Requirements for Undergraduates
Indian students must achieve at least 6 passes with a grade of C or better in the IGCSE or GCSE curriculum. Students who have completed the IB curriculum, often known as the International Baccalaureate, must get a score of at least 5 out of 7 on their college preparatory coursework. Students from India who desire to enrol as freshmen in undergraduate programmes must get a minimum score of 60% on their higher secondary school examination.

Requirements for Graduate Eligibility
Students from India who want to enrol in a postgraduate programme must have a master's degree in their discipline. They must also keep in mind that a bachelor's degree earned after three years of study is not equivalent to a bachelor's degree earned in the United States. This is due to the fact that graduate studies in the United States must last at least four years. Students can, however, submit additional graduate-level coursework to improve their prospects of acceptance to Ohio University.
Requirements for Graduates to Pass a Standardized Qualifying Exam
For Business and Management courses, the GMAT exam is required, and for a select graduate degrees, such as Engineering, the GRE exam is necessary.
