2. 2

   What you can study

   You can study Archeology, Linguistics, and Sanskrit & Lexicography at postgraduate and research level. The institution is described as a post-graduate institute, so applicants should expect a focused academic catalogue rather than a wide range of undergraduate options.

3. 3

   Getting in

   International applicants should apply through the university’s official website and check the current entry requirements, document list, deadlines, and any programme-specific conditions there. The university’s admissions office should confirm whether your previous qualifications are accepted and whether any additional steps are required for overseas applicants.

   What it costs

   The university does not publish a tuition fee for international students; confirm the current rate with its admissions office. Living costs in Pune will depend on housing, transport, food, and personal spending, so check current local prices before you apply.

   Coming from abroad

   The language of instruction is not published, so confirm that directly with the university before applying. Also check visa requirements, document attestation, programme availability for overseas applicants, and whether the department has any additional language or admission conditions.

   How it compares

   India has 475 universities, so this institution sits within a very large higher-education sector. Its main distinction is not scale but specialisation: it is a public deemed university with a narrow academic focus on Archeology, Linguistics, and Sanskrit & Lexicography, which makes it a better fit for applicants with a clearly defined research interest.
