A combined written admission exam has to be passed, consisting of two components – a test in Biology, and a test in Chemistry containing multiple choice questions and short written answer questions. The examination is carried out in English. The topics of Biology and Chemistry cover the material taught in secondary school. The duration of the admission exam is three astronomic hours. Only applicants who have passed both components of the exam are eligible for ranking. The components contribute to the final grade as follows: 50 % Biology, 50 % Chemistry. The applicants can sit for the entrance exam – tests in chemistry and biology in English language once or twice (optional) and they will be ranked on the basis of their results. Ranking will be done in descending order of the grades from the admission exams. For applicants who have passed the exams on the two dates, the higher grade is considered for ranking.
