Ans: Shalini Madam, Cambridge International A Levels are widely recognized by Indian universities for undergraduate admissions in core science and biosciences streams. The Association of Indian Universities (AIU) has granted equivalence to Cambridge International AS & A Levels, recognizing them as equivalent to Indian senior secondary qualifications. Eligibility criteria include subject requirements, number of A Levels, and additional considerations such as entrance exams, university-specific tests, and equivalency certificates.

Some Indian universities mandate entrance exams, such as CUET-UG for Central & State Universities, NEET for medical and related courses, and some institutions conduct their own entrance exams. Some universities may request an equivalency certificate from the AIU to validate the comparability of Cambridge qualifications to Indian standards.

To ensure eligibility, it is recommended to consult with admissions offices of targeted universities, prepare for entrance exams, and ensure all necessary documents are prepared and submitted according to university guidelines. By proactively engaging with the admissions processes and understanding specific requirements, your daughter can effectively navigate her path to securing admission in her chosen field of study in India. All the best for your Daughter's Bright Future!

Ans: If your daughter is already in her first year at Amrita, she can either continue here and plan her Master’s abroad, or transfer after 1–2 years through credit transfer or exchange programs. For tech fields like AIDS, the US, Canada, UK, Germany, and Australia are popular due to strong research and industry links.
Doing the full UG abroad is possible, but it’s more expensive and requires early planning—applications usually start a year in advance, with tests like SAT/IELTS/TOEFL, strong academics, and extracurriculars.
Regarding foreign universities opening campuses in India from 2026 under NEP/UGC, these will offer global curricula locally, but details on which universities will come are still awaited.
