Eligibility

College or university graduates in any discipline and students awaiting their degree examination results are eligible to apply for admission to the ACJ. Although most of the students admitted will be from India, the College expects to offer a certain number of places to suitable candidates from elsewhere in South Asia and from other parts of the world.

Examination

After a careful assessment of applications, short-listed candidates will take an entrance examination on May 25, 2008. The examination will be administered in Bhubaneswar, Chennai, Kochi, New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Patna, Thiruvananthapuram and possibly other cities, depending on the number of applications received from a particular region.

The examination will be in two parts: (a) to test the applicant’s English language skills and facility and (b) the awareness of current affairs and general knowledge. It will also test the candidates’ writing ability and assess their analytical thinking and problem-solving skills. Other procedures may be prescribed for candidates from abroad.
