Frequently Asked Questions

All our partner universities offer on-campus hostels specifically for international students. These hostels provide: separate floors or blocks for international students, air-conditioned and non-air-conditioned rooms (students choose based on budget), Indian and Bangladeshi food options in the mess, laundry services, internet connectivity, 24/7 security with CCTV monitoring, and common areas for study and recreation.

The admission process through WBE involves four main steps: First, we conduct a free profile assessment to understand your academic background, budget, and goals. Second, we match you with universities and programs where you have the highest acceptance chances and scholarship eligibility. Third, we prepare and submit your application through our official MoU partner channels. Fourth, once you receive your offer letter, we guide you through visa processing and pre-departure preparation.

From application to reaching campus, the process usually takes 6-10 weeks, depending on the university and how quickly your documents are ready. A general breakdown: profile assessment and university selection takes 1-2 days; document preparation and application submission takes 3-5 days; university processing and offer letter takes 2-4 weeks; visa processing takes 2-4 weeks; and pre-departure preparation takes 1-2 weeks. WBE's direct MoU partnerships often expedite university processing — sometimes to 1-2 weeks — compared to general applications.

Eligibility varies by program: For undergraduate programs (B.Tech, B.Sc, BBA, etc.), you typically need a minimum of 50-60% in SSC and HSC (depending on the program). For engineering programs, you usually need Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics in HSC. For medical programs, you need PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) in HSC. For postgraduate programs, you need a relevant bachelor's degree with minimum marks (usually 50% or above). WBE assesses your profile and matches you with programs where you meet the eligibility criteria.

Students usually need SSC and HSC marksheets, identity documents, and any relevant higher education marksheets if applicable.

Requirements vary by university and program. Generally: For undergraduate programs (B.Tech, B.Sc, BBA), most universities require minimum 60% marks in HSC or equivalent. For engineering programs, Mathematics and Physics are typically required in HSC. For medical and paramedical programs, higher percentages are usually needed. WBE assesses your specific profile and matches you with universities where your academic profile has the best chance of acceptance.

Based on NAAC accreditation, scholarship availability, and Bangladeshi student community, our top recommendations include: Sharda University (Greater Noida) - strong engineering and medical programs with 20-50% scholarships; Noida International University - flat 50% scholarship structure across many programs; Galgotias University - up to 60% scholarships on engineering programs. All three universities have established Bangladeshi student communities and provide halal food options.

Total costs vary by university and program, but generally include: tuition fees (after scholarship, typically INR 1-4 lakhs per year), one-time admission processing fees (INR 50,000-1,50,000), hostel fees (INR 60,000-1,20,000 per year), food and living expenses (INR 30,000-50,000 per month), and visa fees (approximately BDT 5,000). WBE provides detailed cost breakdowns for each university and program during counseling, so there are no hidden surprises.

Yes, degrees from NAAC-accredited, UGC-recognised Indian universities are widely accepted. In Bangladesh, equivalence of a foreign degree is determined by the University Grants Commission (UGC) of Bangladesh — not the education boards, which handle SSC/HSC examinations. For professional fields, recognition also requires clearance from the relevant council (BMDC for medicine, BNMC for nursing, Bar Council for law, BAETE/IEB for engineering). WBE partners only with universities that hold both NAAC accreditation and UGC India recognition, and verifies degree-equivalence eligibility for every program before recommending it.

Official MoU Partnerships - We have signed agreements with universities, giving you priority processing and structured support. Direct University Payments - You pay tuition fees directly to the university, not through us, ensuring complete transparency.

There are several compelling reasons: First, globally recognized degrees - Indian universities with NAAC A+ accreditation are recognized worldwide. Second, affordable education - compared to Western countries, Indian universities offer world-class education at a fraction of the cost. Third, cultural familiarity - India shares cultural, linguistic, and religious similarities with Bangladesh, making adaptation easier. Fourth, close to home - major Indian cities are just hours away from Bangladesh, making family visits easy. Fifth, English-medium instruction - all our partner universities offer fully English-taught programs.

As a Bangladeshi student on an Indian student visa, you are primarily allowed to study full-time. However, some universities offer on-campus part-time work opportunities such as library assistants, lab assistants, or tutoring positions. Off-campus employment is generally not permitted on a student visa. After completing your studies, you can apply for a work visa if you secure employment in India. Many students use their study period to build networks and gain internship experience that helps in future career opportunities.

FRRO (Foreigners Registration Regional Office) registration is mandatory for all foreign students staying in India for more than 180 days (approximately 6 months). As a Bangladeshi student, you must register with FRRO within 14 days of arriving in India. This registration is essential for validating your student visa and staying legally in India. WBE assists students with the complete FRRO registration process, including document preparation and submission.

The key documents required include: valid passport with minimum 6 months validity, completed visa application form, recent passport-sized photographs, admission letter from the Indian university, proof of financial capability (bank statements showing funds for tuition and living expenses), character certificate, medical fitness certificate, and proof of accommodation in India. WBE assists students in preparing all required documents to ensure a smooth visa application process.

Popular programs for Bangladeshi students include: Engineering (B.Tech) - especially Computer Science, Mechanical, and Civil Engineering; Computer Applications (BCA/MCA) - for IT careers; Business Administration (BBA/MBA) - for management careers; Nursing - healthcare sector opportunities; Pharmacy - pharmaceutical industry careers; Medical (for eligible students with high scores); and Hotel Management - tourism and hospitality sector. Engineering and Computer Applications are currently the most in-demand due to career opportunities.

Scholarship percentages vary by university and program: At Galgotias University, students can receive up to 60% scholarship on engineering programs and 50% on many other programs. Noida International University offers a flat 50% scholarship structure on many programs. Sharda University provides 20% to 50% scholarships on many programs. Scholarship eligibility typically depends on your academic scores (SSC and HSC results) and the program you choose.

Scholarships depend on the university, program, and academic profile. WBE reviews student eligibility before recommending options.

Indian universities offer various scholarships for international students: Merit-based scholarships reward academic excellence (typically 20-50% tuition waiver). Need-based financial aid is available for students demonstrating financial requirement. University-specific grants vary by institution—Galgotias University offers up to 60% on engineering, Noida International University offers flat 50% on many programs, and Sharda University provides 20-50% on numerous programs. WBE helps you apply for maximum scholarships you're eligible for.

Yes, studying in India is generally safe for Bangladeshi students.
