1. Manipal University: One of the best private universities, which offers undergraduate courses in engineering, business, and other disciplines. They give direct admission based on merit, especially for students from abroad.
2. Shiv Nadar University: The university gives OCI students a chance to apply directly based on their board exam scores, without any compulsive entrance exam for some courses.
