You may have frequently pondered why certain educational establishments use ac.in or edu.in as their domain names for their websites.

The only domain registrar for these domains is the Education and Research Network (ERNET), and only academic institutions approved by the Indian government or state governments are eligible to receive these domain assignments.

According to the Government of India, all accredited academic institutions must have a website with either an edu.in or an ac.in domain.

There are certain points that are to be kept in mind to be able to receive either of the domains:

• elementary or secondary schools connected to a recognised or central board. For instance, colleges approved by central or recognised educational boards, such as CBSE or ICSE
• The UGC or the federal or state governments should authorise universities.
• Recognising technical institutions that apply for domains is also important.
• The State Government’s Vocational Training Council, among others, ought to approve vocational training facilities.
• The skill development centres approved by the central government ministry or skill development state
