In case of the international candidates, how many students are admitted to a particular university from one country? Is there any cuttoff on that ..as in..for example not more than 2 sudents should be from the same country?
What if more than 1 student is applying from the same institute to a particular university ??
Is it the norm than only one student would be taken from a particular institute?

I've never heard of such a limit, and I think it would be inappropriate. There might be a rough limit on the total number of foreign admits, but not for a single country.

How about if there are multiple applications from same institute abroad??
I understand there is no official limit on that.
But generally how many students would be taken up from same institute?
Are there any instances where 2 or more than 2 students were admitted from same place???

I am at a top-5 physics grad school, and we definitely have, in our first-year class, several students from the same foreign institute.
So, if there is a limit (which I highly doubt), then it is pretty high. Again, I doubt that there is a limit.

Minnesota, for instance, limits admission to 20 students from China each year (out of about 200 applicants).
