Individuals applying for themselves, and universities applying for their students fill out the IPDAP forms. Please note that the forms are different for individuals, organizations and institutions.
The applications are processed and evaluated by IAC to assess if the subsidy request can be approved. Communication regarding approval/ rejection of request is sent to applicants.
All approved applications are then individually processed as subsidy cases and external agencies are contacted for arranging maximum subsidy/ financial assistance possible for applicants.
Once arranged, applicants and their target-institutions are communicated about the subsidy and amount, and IAC and the admission office of target institutions coordinate to complete the process of subsidy award to the applicant-individuals or applicant-institutions.
The applicants are then instructed to pay the reduced fee by the institution they are joining.
