Using the examination for admission

Qualifying or scoring in an entrance examination does not by itself guarantee admission unless the official rules say otherwise. Applicants may also need to complete programme selection, institutional applications, document verification, interviews, portfolios, medical requirements, or centralised counselling, depending on the admission system.
