Applications that do not meet these criteria will not be considered for admission evaluation, even if the applicant takes the admission test and/or fulfils other necessary requirements. Please note that the application processing fee and test fee are non-refundable.

• All information submitted through the online application should be supported by the provision of copies of relevant documents, transcripts, and certificates. Any information will not be considered valid if official proof/document is missing. Moreover, documents submitted at the time of admission will not be returned under any circumstances.
