Admission Requirements

  • Students who have studied at a University in the UK will require a minimum grade of 2:2 (second class lower)

Degrees from the main metropolitan universities, for example, Delhi, Hyderabad, Chennai (Madras) Mumbai (Bombay), Ahmadabad, Pune, Bangalore, Nagpur, Kanpur, Kolkata (Calcutta), Lucknow, Jaipur, Jodhpur. A well-recognized college affiliated with a large metropolitan university will normally be considered for entry with 60% (and above).
