2. Research on Universities
Visit university websites to find rankings, academic records, faculty, infrastructure, etc. Consult alumni to choose institutions offering quality education.
3. Know Admission and Transfer Rules
Understand the rules regarding admission, transfer, withdrawal, etc., directly from the institutions. Note: The Embassy does not play any role in these matters.

Confirm whether the university offers courses in English. Teaching quality in English may not be on par with Indian standards.

Students are encouraged to deal directly with universities and avoid agents or ECs where possible.
6. If Using ECs, Verify Background
Check EC reputation. Consult students who have used their services. Avoid those with poor feedback.
7. Documentation is Crucial
Ensure the contract is in English or bilingual (English + Uzbek/Russian). Do not sign documents only in Uzbek/Russian unless you fully understand them.

Clarify tuition, hostel, other university fees, and EC charges. These should be clearly stated in the admission letter and contract.
9. EC Service Details
Review services provided by ECs and read terms, especially any escalation clauses in charges.

Use banking transactions and collect receipts that include the university and EC company names. Keep university fee receipts for bank loans and future proof.

Confirm the availability and quality of hostel, food, and related facilities before admission.
