According to the ‘Foreign Study Approval Guidelines- 2079 BS’ approved by the Ministry, the NOC is going to be issued online.
Sub-sections (3) and (4) of Section 7 of the directive mandate that the service delivery should be made cashless, faceless and paperless, so that the service providers can download the foreign study approval letter using the electronic system.

Under the new system, the no-objection certificate (NOC) will be issued online using the API model and portal model. The API of the concerned educational institutions will be integrated, and the NOC will be provided by making autonomous verification of the documents entered by the applicant online. Banks and financial institutions have made arrangements to submit the details of the students not availing the exchange facility of foreign currency online using the user account details available to them.
Conclusion: The introduction of online foreign study permits is a significant step towards making the process more efficient, convenient, and accessible to the students. This new system will enable the students to get the NOC without any hassle and will help them save time and effort.
