Data read from the sources: 17 September 2026
What documents and grades do you need to study in India?
The Ministry of Education's Study in India portal sets 10+2 years of schooling as the minimum for an undergraduate course, so an 11-year Uzbek attestat does not reach it on its own. Teaching at the partner institutes is in English; the level is shown with IELTS, TOEFL or the institute's own test, and no national minimum score is published. A school qualification taken abroad is recognised by an equivalence certificate from the Association of Indian Universities. After the offer letter you take the student visa at an Indian mission and register with the FRRO within 14 days of arrival.
Bachelor’s
With an Uzbek attestat (11 years)
One year at a university in Uzbekistan
The portal says: "the minimum requirement for students to take up an undergraduate course is 10+2 years of schooling". The source says nothing about an Uzbek 11-year attestat, so the most conservative reading is taken: add a further year after the attestat (a college, a lyceum or a first university year in Uzbekistan) to reach twelve years, and have the qualification confirmed by an AIU equivalence certificate. AIU makes the final decision.
Documents
School certificate
The school-leaving certificate is what the 10+2 rule is checked against; the Study in India application asks you to upload your academic documents for verification.
Academic transcript
Not checked yetAIU's equivalence enquiry list names the academic transcript for the last class passed and a transfer certificate or letter from the principal confirming the last examination passed.
Passport
The student-visa document list names a passport with 6-month validity, and the portal elsewhere asks for a passport valid for the course duration.
Photograph
Passport size photographs are on the student-visa document list, together with a photocopy of the passport.
Financial statement
Applicants should possess proof of admission to a full-time regular academic course in a reputed/recognized educational institution in India and evidence of financial support; the document list names a bank statement. No amount is stated — the Indian mission sets it.
Apostille
Not checked yetIndia and Uzbekistan are both contracting parties to the 1961 Apostille Convention (India in force 14-VII-2005, Uzbekistan 15-IV-2012), so an Uzbek education document is legalised with an apostille and not through an Indian consulate.
English certificateOptional
An IELTS or TOEFL report is one of the accepted ways to show English; the institute's own English aptitude test is the alternative, so the certificate is not required by everybody.
Certified translationOptional
Not checked yetThe national pages do not state a translation rule; AIU asks for the academic transcript and the transfer certificate, and an Uzbek document in Uzbek or Russian normally needs a certified English translation before an institute or AIU will read it. Confirm with the institute.

Master’s
An Indian master takes a completed bachelor degree — the portal says so plainly. A degree awarded abroad is recognised by an AIU equivalence certificate. Teaching is in English, the English requirement is the institute's to set and no national minimum score is published. You register on the Study in India portal, collect an offer letter, then take the student visa at an Indian mission and register with the FRRO within 14 days of arrival.
With an Uzbek attestat (11 years)
Straight into the first year
The entry document for a master is the bachelor degree, not the attestat: "The Master's degree students can opt for a postgraduate course in India only after completing a Bachelor's degree in their disciplines of study." With a completed Uzbek bachelor degree you apply directly, and AIU recognises the degree.
