Admission
2.1
Admission to programs/courses
offered by the NIIT centre is
governed by specified eligibility
criteria and selection norms, whose
details are available with the Front
Office. The student is expected to
participate in the
selection/eligibility-assessment
process, in order to ensure
appropriate enrolment and ease of
future learning. One step in the
selection process is for the student
to complete the “Application for
Enrolment” document. Needless to
say, fulfillment of minimum
eligibility criteria may not be
sufficient for admission.
2.2 Some courses/programs assume that
the student has completed some
academic prerequisites. While the
NIIT center will inform the
candidate of these prerequisites and
help to assess the student,
ultimately it is the student who

the prior knowledge required for
admission into a course/program.

reference to all matters herein
referred to, all previous
discussions, promises,
representations, and understandings
relative thereto, if any, had
between the parties hereto, being
herein merged. All student services
are being provided by the NIIT

when the admission process is
