Two Things to Check Before You Decide

Our counsellors will assess your profile and guide you to the right path — no commitment needed.
- Accreditation status. The university's page lists both programmes with "provisional authorization". In Romania, this is generally an early stage of the quality-assurance process, before full accreditation. Ask the university in writing what the current accreditation status is and what it means for the recognition of your degree, including for further study or work in India and in other countries. Confirm what you are told with the Romanian quality-assurance agency, ARACIS.
- Intake and places. The university's page does not state intake dates or the number of places. IMA can confirm the current intake and deadlines with the university for you.
Is This University Right for You?
It may suit you if you want a lower-cost English-taught bachelor's degree in business or computing in a smaller university city. It may not suit you if you need a degree from a globally ranked university, or if you want a wide choice of English-taught subjects, because only two are listed. Compare it with other Romanian and European options before you commit.
How IMA Can Help
IMA (International Multilingual Academy) in Faridabad counsels students on admission to European universities, including Romania. Our counsellors help you check your eligibility, prepare your documents and handle the application and the steps after it, including the student visa process. We do not guarantee admission or a visa, since those decisions belong to the university and the embassy.
