You can apply to register for the xyz.edu.in domain to our Indian Government Portal www.ernet.in. Please refer the following topics, rewritten by me, in simple language to proceed with the registration process.

Who can apply?

Check whether you are eligible to apply for the xyz.edu.in domain.

  1. Public and Private educational institutions
  2. Primary and Secondary Schools
  3. Government and Private Colleges
  4. Professional and Vocational Institutes
  5. Universities and dimmed universities

What is the initial procedure?

First check that whether the required domain is available on the net. For that we suggest to tell your webmaster to visit our domain registration portal and check its availability. Once it is confirmed that the required domain is available, then you can proceed with the following step.

Make a formal request

A formal request on the letterhead of the institute duly signed by the head of the institution, for which domain name registration is applied, should be uploaded on the site.

Letter to be addressed to the following address:

ERNET DOMAIN REGISTRAR,
ERNET India,
Block-I, A Wing DMRC, IT Park,
Shastri Park, New Delhi – 110053

How to make payment?

Along with the letter, payment should be made through online (credit card/debit card/net banking) mode or NEFT in ERNET India’s Bank account. The payment must be done at the time of domain registration. You can register for 1 year, 2 years, 5 years or 10 years. Accordingly you will have to make the payment. The bank details are given below, where you have to deposit the payment.

Documentary Proofs

Documentary proof of the institute related to domain name applied for new registration, that institute is involved in academic/educational field:

  1. Copy of Registration paper/Affiliation letter from any University/CBSE/AICTE/UGC/State Education Board etc. should also be uploaded on the site.
  2. User has to submit/upload any ID issued by Government for credential verification of the Institute for which domain name registration is applied.
  3. Any modification such as change of contact person (Admin), address of educational institutions will be entertained only through head/principal/chairman of institute.
  4. The Domain registration process would be initiated only after verifying the payment, letter, documentary proof and online domain registration form.
  5. Domain Name should be confirmed to the syntax.

Conditions for domain name syntax

The requested domain name of any private organization should not be similar to any Government Organization (full or abbreviated) or country name.

For example educational Institute like “Ganesh Onkara Institute”, should not request domain name like GOI.AC.IN or GOI.EDU.IN as GOI is used for Government of India or Uttrakhand Girls College should not apply for UGC.AC.IN or UGC.EDU.IN (as UGC is for University Grant Commission) or Uttam Sanskrit Academy should not apply for USA.AC.IN or USA.EDU.IN (as USA is country name). Domain name should match with Institute’s name.

If any organization is not involved (if found later) in educational, academic or research activities after their domain registration under EDU.IN, AC.IN and RES.IN, respectively, and involved in other web activities unrelated to academic/research, then their registered domain under ac.in, res.in and edu.in may be withheld. Also, after registration of domain, if any document submitted to ERNET by registrant is found to be fake/forged/wrong, ERNET India reserves the right to de-actiavte/delete that domain.

Conditions for payment

DD and CASH will not be accepted . User have to pay online (credit card/debit card/net banking) /NEFT (account details given above). In case of NEFT, kindly mention domain name and UTR No. in NEFT deposit slip/receipt.

Please note!

After checking and validating the documents I will contact you back on your cellphone number and/or on your email address for further process.

The ERNET requires following documentation in the registration of this process.

  1. Letter of Undertaking – on Rs.500 Government Bond Paper
  2. Letter of Appointment – mentioning that you are appointing me to do this process

Important Note
Since this entire process is third party process, if your application is rejected by ERNET, for any reason, I will guide you how to fulfil their queries. Even if you do not satisfy their queries by sending relevant details and documents, your application may be completely rejected by ERNET.
In such case I will refund Rs.3900 from my processing charges plus Rs.900 i.e. in such case I will refund you total amount of Rs.3900. Remaining amount of Rs.2500 will be charged as processing fees.
But please note rejection of the documents rarely happens and I will take utmost care to get your application cleared…!

Greetings Professor,
With reference to the above subject, I hereby want to state that I read
your article regarding how to register .edu domain in India.
I am also working as an Asst. Professor in Budha Group of Institutions,
Karnal, Haryana. Currently, we have an organizational domain for our
website and were thinking of opting for the educational domain to
increase the traffic and grow further reach of our website.
Regarding the same, I had some queries if only you could help us with
the same?
1. Our institution was established in 2007 as Budha College of Education
and then we added different streams like management, and architecture
and got them registered as Budha College of Management, Budha College of
Higher Education, etc. Since we are thinking of building only one
website, so I wanted to ask while filling out the application form for
the domain, what shall we mention in the Institution name?
2. Our College is registered as a cooperative society and the name and
the address of the society and college are different. So, by which name
shall we apply the form and proofs like address or the legal identity
shall be applied of society or the institution?
We shall be really obliged if you could please help with some of the
issues we were facing.
Thanking you in advance.

I would suggest you call me in person.
Because the explanation to your queries would be long enough to discuss here.
It would take much time to type the points.
