Introduction
Director: Dr. Aparna Rayaprol, arayaprol@uohyd.ac.in
The Universitys Study in India Program (SIP), which began in 1998 with only 8 students, has expanded considerably in recent
years. There are now about 200 participants in a year and has been considered a model programme by the University Grants
Commission for other Indian universities.
SIP is an interdisciplinary initiative, emphasizing heritage, continuity and change in India. The unique aspect of SIP is that the
students interests have been given primary attention. One-on-one counseling on e-mail, contact prior to arrival, and meeting
after arrival, provided by the SIP faculty and program assistants, lead to a good match between students' preferences and the
courses they take. In some cases, independent studies are devised for SIP students.
The University of Hyderabad (UoH) is a central university created through an Act of Parliament and is regarded as among Indias
top universities. In the last 16 years, faculty have been involved in the conceptualization and development of the SIP, which is the
only program of its kind in an Indian university. SIP emphasizes the study of the culture and heritage of India along with providing
insights into Indias emergence as an economic power and a leader in scientific and technological innovations.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
SIP arranges for the students to be received at the airport in Hyderabad and brought to the university.
Once the students arrive at the University of Hyderabad, SIP helps them in settling down in the international student housing and
offers them a detailed orientation which includes both academic as well as cultural issues. The typical American student who is
used to a lot of independence and space needs to adjust to the challenges of an intensely sensual and sometimes
overwhelming Indian experience. SIP acts as a buffer for these students who need the support system. The SIP program
assistant who is a senior doctoral student helps students through the early stages of settling down on campus.
All these courses can be classified under five heads:
Regular University courses in different schools involving lectures, seminars, assignments and examinations.
SIP courses, especially designed for foreign students.
Independent/directed study where a faculty member supervises readings, field study, and research focused on some topic.
Courses involving practice/performance, e.g. Indian Classical Dance, Theatre, Sitar, Painting, Sculpture, etc.
Non-credit courses such as Yoga, Tabla, Kathak, etc.
