9 years agoHello Kumar,
Most of the foreign universities accept Indian students with 16 years education like 10+2+4, but few institutions will also take 15 year education like 10+2+3. You will get an admission in the selected universities, but I am not sure whether the universities mentioned by you are offering courses on the basis of 15 years of education. Check the university website for clear requirements, courses offered, exams need to be qualified with scores and scholarship information.
I also suggest you to visit the nearest abroad consultancy for better options. Take their advice and do your own research and proceed further. I hope you know...more
