What is an AIU equivalence certificate?

It’s a certificate from the Association of Indian Universities that recognises a foreign degree as equivalent to an Indian one. It’s paid (around ₹59,000 incl. GST) and granted only if the foreign university and programme meet AIU conditions. Apply if you need Indian government-job/further-study recognition.

Yes — Analytics and Supply Chain Management are both among the six specialization options.
