In order to enroll more foreign students and NRI wards, JMI has cut down the fees for students from SAARC countries, along with cutting fees for foreign nationals/NRI wards for Diploma programmes under the University Polytechnic. Two seats in the BDS programme (admitting students through NEET) have been reserved for foreign students.

Foreign nationals seeking admission to PhD courses at JMI are now able to appear for admission interviews online since they find it challenging to obtain visas and make travel arrangements to India to appear for the admission interview as part of the entrance process requirement.

JMI will hold entrance tests for up to 29 programmes in eight cities of the country, including Malegaon and Bhopal.
