The Lund University acceptance rate of 58% makes it fairly selective at granting admissions, however, the Chalmers University of Technology acceptance range typically ranges between 80-90%, making it much more easier to secure admissions at.

Students interested in admissions to either institute are required to maintain solid academic scores & a professional resume highlighting other skills, as both Lund & Copenhagen have shown a tendency to be picky to varying extents & priortising highly qualified candidates.

While Lund University does not have a specific student association for Indian students, it does have the East Asia Student Association

The Student Association (EASA) acts as a platform to bring together students from East and Southeast Asia, makes them feel welcome and provides them the ideal environment to study with dedicated student events and programmes over the academic year. 

The Student Association has a dedicated social media group on Facebook, that prospective students can use to get in touch with the current students, and understand student life at Lund University and in Sweden.
