India is cheap anyway so you do not have to care that much about your money. You can save money by planning your tours carefully. The Lonely Planet helps you to save a lot of money.

The relative grading system is not that easy to understand for exchange students. It should be more clear what you have to do to pass the courses.

Overall
I wish I had known...
It´s a good idea to visit the campus at least a week before the term starts, as you might meet some other exchange students and might do a trip together before the term starts.

(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
Don´t waste to much time on studying as long as you do not want to be a finance guru. Stay in touch with the Indian students. Try to find out their way of living and studying.

Nearly every Indian speaks a few words English (English is official language next to Hindu). Most speak Hindu. You do not need to speak any Hindu, as lectures are in English. The Indians English might be a bit strange in the beginning, but you will rapidely accustom to the local slang.
