Securing Admission
For candidates applying to any of the courses, English must compulsorily be one of the subjects of the qualifying examination.
Selection to most government-recognised institutes is based on a common entrance test in English, reasoning, general science and general knowledge. The test is of two-hour duration and is held around April every year. The test is followed by a group discussion and interview. NRIs can also take this test.
International students can apply for direct admission through Ed.CIL. NRIs can also apply directly.
Private institutes also conduct tests of their own, the pattern of which is almost the same.
