I didn't read past the vendors list - surprisingly small with very few "universities."

With the exception of SCDL, all others are Open Universities owned and run by individual States. IMO most of these are not equipped to accommodate foreign students (yet).

 

That list is the "Top 20" or thereabouts. Here's the complete UGC / DEB approved Distance Ed list, as far as I know... I think it's 106 schools. http://www.ugc.ac.in/deb/pdf/List%20of%20UniversitiesInstitutes%20recognized%20for%202015-16.pdf

As msganti remarked - I, too, doubt that most of the schools on the expanded list are presently equipped to accommodate foreign students. Oh well, we know that at least Assam - Don Bosco U. is prepared and authorized.

I have imagined picking some likely school and simply applying for admission. The cost of doing it would be next to nothing and it might be interesting to see just how far I could push the system before someone just said "That's enough. Not for you." It could be interesting.
