Ministry of Human Resource Development integrated e-SANAD portal and National Academic Depository.
e-Sanad is aimed at online verification of the documents with an objective to extend contactless, cashless and paperless document attestation/ apostille service to applicants in India as well as abroad.
The programme aims to promote Indian education to 2 lakh international students by 2023. 55% of the total seats will be available, under fee waiver scheme on merit basis.
The programme will however not affect the number of seats available for Indian students.
Further, eSanad has been integrated with Non- Tax Receipt Portal (NTRP) successfully for cashless payment.
