Admission Guidelines

Admission process is divided into the following four steps:

Counseling
Application
Acceptance/ Rejection
Registration

Counseling

Students are required to attend college on their own or with their friends and guardians. A team of professional student counselors and personal academic advisors will be on hand to help students better comprehend the program's offers.

Students will generally be invited to take part in a Campus Tour, during which they will be taken around the college to get a sense of how it runs and strives to provide a welcoming learning environment for students.

Application

Students are required to come to the college to complete the college and university application forms once they've decided to pursue a bachelor's degree at the college. Students must ensure that they completely comprehend the terms and conditions of acceptance for any degree program, as well as the methods of payment for College, University Fees, and the Refund Policy. They are further required to bring the following documentation to the college admissions office:

Original copy of highest attained academic qualifications (e.g. SEE, NEB 10+2, A-Level, CBSE certificate)
Original copy of citizenship certificate or passport

The admissions officers will photocopy the documents and compare them to the originals to ensure that they are true copies. If the genuine copy of the official document is not presented at the time of application, the institution reserves the right to refuse the application.

In addition, the students will be required to pay a small application fee to the college for this purpose. The academic qualifications will be reviewed by college admissions experts right away to determine your eligibility. If the institution's basic admission requirements are met for a bachelor's degree, the college will be able to extend a conditional acceptance offer for enrollment.

Acceptance/Rejection

The completed application forms and documentation will be sent to London Metropolitan University for final approval, and the college will notify the applicants of the evaluation results within 3 to 5 working days. If the application is approved and accepted, they will be notified through email or phone to come to the institution to complete the registration process as soon as possible. If the university does not accept the application, the college will notify and advise the applicant or their guardian.

Registration

To finish the registration, students must go to the college right away. If they do not complete the registration procedure within 5 working days of obtaining the University's evaluation results, the college reserves the right to deny the registration. Between the college and the student, an official student contract will be prepared, acknowledged, and signed. Students will then be sent an invoice for College Fees as well as an invoice for their University Fees.
