Which session should you take?
January session
Best if your degree result is already in hand and you want the degree dated earlier. Exams fall in the June–July window.
July session
Best for final-year graduates whose results arrive mid-year, and for anyone switching jobs. Exams fall in the December–January window.
Before the last date
- ✓ Keep every marksheet scanned and readable — unreadable scans are the most common delay.
- ✓ Fix name-spelling mismatches between marksheet and ID before you apply.
- ✓ Confirm the exact award and provider in writing before paying any fee.
