Type & Time of Exams:

Apart from term tests, there are two examination sessions for Face to Face (in campus) students. First session is in the first week of July and the second round is in the second week of September.

 

 The first round of examination sessions for distance learning students is in the second week of September. Exact program of examination sessions and their locations will be sent to students one month prior to examination dates. However, they can sit with Face to Face students in the London college if they wish to do so.

 

The second round is held in London college only and lies in the second week of December of each year. Again program will be provided for those who wish to sit for these exams.

 

Please note that students are required to enlist themselves for the examination sessions by informing the Registrar in writing of their willingness to participate no later than 1st of August.

 

Students who have registered within or after April have the option to postpone the exams for the next year. In case a student wishes to exercise this option, he/she should write to the Registrar one month prior to exams explaining his/her wish to do so. Other students can do the same, but have to pay the Put-Off fee of £50. Otherwise, those students who do not inform the Registrar and do not sit for exams will be considered Failed and should register for the same year again.

 

Students, who for special circumstances do not sit for one to three subjects of the exams, can sit for the same in the second round in London only. Please note that resit subjects (those subjects in which students have failed in the previous years) are included in the list of compulsory examination subjects.

 

Students can only participate in the maximum number of 6 examination rounds within a span of 10 years.
