Academic Calendar
The new academic year starts in India by third week of July. You may check and confirm the start date on the current academic calendar.
If you are considering applying to the University for 2020/21, you will need to make an application by 31st March, 2020, if you are an International Student.
It is advisable to allow a minimum of four months clear before the start of term to arrange your visa and for this reason we advise applying at the earliest opportunity. If you are applying for a student visa, it must be done in your country of origin which may have specific timelines.
