• Health & Safety
• Travel preparations & securing a Passport/Student Visa
• Course registration for Pondicherry University
• Program and academic approval from home university
• Program fees schedule
• Financial aid
• Insurance
• FAQ
• Useful resources

Additionally, we have a phone conversation with every student to address their questions and explain key things to know and do prior to leaving for India. IISAC representatives are always available to help students prepare for their journey abroad.
