Premier institutes gear up for fresh admissions

PATNA: Even as the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and the Indian School Certificate Examination (ISCE) are yet to conduct the Class XII exams, the process of admission to professional courses in different institutes has already begun.
The Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) conducted the Intermediate exams last month, the results of which are likely to be published soon. But the CBSE and the ISCE will hold the Class XII examinations in May and June.
In the meantime, all premier institutions, including the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), National Institute of Technology (NIT), National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), Chandragupt Institute of Management Patna (CIMP), and Chanakya National Law University (CNLU) have announced their admission schedules for the next academic session and the interested students started submitting their applications.
Founded in 2006, CNLU will admit 120 students to its five-year BA LLB and BBA LLB courses on the basis of the result of the Common Law Admission Test to be held on June 13.
“The candidates can register for the entrance test through the online mode till March 31. The results will be announced in the fourth week of May and the counselling shall begin in the first week of June,” CNLU’s faculty member S P Singh told this newspaper.
The NIFT-Patna, which was established in 2008, offers four-year courses in Bachelor of Design and Bachelor of Fashion Technology as well as a one-year certificate course in Fashion and Clothing Technology to the students admitted through a national level entrance test followed by a group discussion and personal interviews. There are altogether 150 seats in different academic programmes, including fashion design, accessory design, textile design, fashion communication and apparel production.
“The entrance test for admissions was conducted on February 14, the results of which are likely to be published by the end of March. The group discussion and personal interviews will begin in April and the final results will be published by the end of May,” said NIFT teacher Vinayak Yasraj.
The CIMP, which was also established in 2008, has already started the process of admission to the two-year Postgraduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) programme. The last date for submission of application forms is March 31. Admissions will be done through the Common Admission Test, Xavier Aptitude Test and Common Management Admission Test and the shortlisted candidates called to attend a writing ability test, a group discussion and personal interviews.
