If you are a student and have plans to go abroad in the near future, here is your golden chance to get a passport – in a simpler and easier manner.

In current times where world is a global village, many of you aspire to travel to different parts of the world for student exchange programs, global competitions and wide varieties of learning & career opportunities. Passport is an essential travel document. Passport is also an important and widely acceptable identity and address proof document.

Disclosing about the initiate of the Ministry, Shri Rakesh Agrawal Regional Passport Officer Chandigarh said “We as part of our initiative Student Connect, are aimed to prepare Globally Ready Students by helping you to avail Passport Services in a never before easier and simpler manner. Passport office is contacting big universities and colleges and offering them all help to enable students to make passports. For this special emails have been sent to the major institutes.”

If there are sufficient number of students from a Institute interested in applying for a passport, we would be willing to conduct special passport camp at your Institute or hold special melas at the nearest PSKs. If required, we will also facilitate students by allotting special time slots for walk-in processing of application without appointment at the PSKs. As a special case, this facility will also be available to the faculty and staff members of the Institute.

Also with admission season round the corner for the universities outside India, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) is anticipating an increased number of passport applications in the current quarter, as passport is a mandatory document for students planning to study abroad. This is just the right time for you to apply and get your passport.

You can go to MEA’s website – www.passportindia.gov.in to file your application online and book appointment slots and thereafter visit the Passport Seva Kendra (PSK) to complete the application process. We have undertaken several initiatives to ensure smooth application processing as well as quick printing and dispatch of passports. Till 31st December you can also visit any of the PSK under RPO Chandigarh after just filling ARN without taking any appointment under walk in category.
