Already Left India Without Student Insurance?
Student travel insurance from India is normally arranged before departure. If you have already travelled abroad without purchasing insurance, you should not assume that an Indian student insurance policy can automatically be issued after departure.
In most cases, universities provide their own student health insurance plan and include the insurance fee along with the tuition or other university fees. However, some universities may accept eligible Indian student health insurance plans and allow students to apply for a waiver from the university sponsored insurance, subject to the university's requirements. If you have already left India and forgot to purchase student insurance, you can approach u and submit your student information details. We can review your request and, where appropriate, approach the relevant Indian insurance company for case by case consideration; approval and policy issuance are subject to the insurer's decision and are not guaranteed.
