India
India's higher-education system is overseen by the Ministry of Education and its statutory regulators - the University Grants Commission for universities and degrees, the All India Council for Technical Education for technical and management programmes, and the National Medical Commission for medical education. International applicants normally enter through an institution's own international-admissions office, through the government's Study in India portal, or through a centrally administered scheme such as DASA for engineering and architecture seats at NITs, IIITs and other centrally funded technical institutes. Entry rules differ by nationality, residency status, the prior qualification held and the discipline chosen.
Admission process
Sweden
Sweden combines a publicly funded higher-education system with internationally oriented universities, English-taught master's study and selected English bachelor's programmes. Students compare programme-specific tuition, admissions, language, residence-permit and living-cost rules rather than assuming one national price or eligibility route.
Admission process
India
International applicants look at India for English-taught degrees across computing, engineering, management, design, sciences, law and health disciplines, and for a single national application route: the Ministry of Education's Study in India portal issues an SII ID and lets an applicant send one profile to several participating institutes. Government-funded study places also exist through Indian Council for Cultural Relations scholarship schemes, which are applied for through Indian diplomatic missions rather than directly to a university. What an individual applicant can access depends on citizenship, residency status, how the prior qualification is assessed for equivalence, and whether the programme is attached to a national entrance test.
