Instant Admission Cum Scholarship Test (iACST)

1. If a student could not qualify the criteria of Direct Admission, for such students, we are providing an opportunity to appear for our 'Admission cum Scholarship Test' to showcase their potential for Medicine or Engineering as career. Those students who qualify this test are then given admission in the applied courses.
2. The admission test also gives an opportunity to a student to outperform and get scholarship in turn. A student, who has qualified our direct admission criteria, can also appear for iACST in order to avail scholarship.
3. If a student has taken direct admission and paid registration fee, admission fee and 1st Installment of the Tuition Fee, then he/she cannot appear in iACST to avail any scholarship benefit.
4. A student can appear in the iACST for a maximum of two chances for seeking admission in a particular course and that too before paying Tuition Fee. Once a student has paid the Registration, Admission and 1st Installment of Tuition Fee, then he/she cannot appear in the iACST for Scholarship.
5. The detailed syllabus of the admission test is different for different courses and can be obtained from the information desk at the applying centre. [For Pattern & Syllabus, refer our Process of DA & ACST page in Brochure for respective courses]
