The I-card, called the International Student Identity Card (ISIC) endorsed by UNESCO was launched in New Delhi today and is being made available to the university students by Delhi University Student's Union (DUSU) and will be accepted worldwide.
"An ISIC card is currently being used by students in around 130 countries. Once this card is made available to DU students they can avail discounts in Microsoft, British Council, IELTS, Lenskart, Pizza Hut and other popular brands," said a DUSU member.
The ISIC card will be in the form of a smart card which will serve the dual purpose of an identity card for a DU students and a discount card.
DUSU is going to organise camps in various colleges starting in a few days to issue these cards to the students.

It will come with a magnetic strap and a unique identification number like the smart cards and can be swiped at some places," the member said.
Some of the offers that will be available on the card include, a 90 per cent discount on purchase of software from Microsoft, 20 per cent discount on career planning workshops organised by Career Smart, a career counselling group, up to 50 per cent discount on brands like Lakme and Pizza Hut outlets.
