ACADEMIC IELTS PREPARATORY COURSE – BBA
The Academic IELTS preparatory course (AIPC) and mathematics preparatory courses
are designed for students whose proficiency levels are inadequate to be accepted
for admission into the BBA Program of SUC. Preparatory courses are offered to those
students who could not qualify placement test of SUC. The placement of the student
in IELTS or Mathematics preparatory course is determined on the basis of grades
obtained in placement exams. The qualifying score for admission is 5.0 out of 9.0
bands for BBA Program. Students who fail to obtain above qualifying scores are admitted
into the preparatory courses as explained below. (Scenarios 1, 2 and 3 help to understand
the principle for placing a student in the IELTS preparatory program).
- Scenario 1: If Student falls short of qualifying score in both English and Maths:
In this scenario, the student will undergo the AIPC and Maths preparatory course
to improve the skills in English and Mathematics respectively. The students in this
scenario will not be allowed to join freshman level of BBA Program (for details
on levels of placement, please refer to categories mentioned in preparation for
English language skills section and scenario 3 for Mathematics requirements).
- Scenario 2: If Student falls short of qualifying score in English but obtains
qualifying score in Maths: In this scenario, the student will undergo AIPC to
improve English language skills towards meeting the admission requirements and will
be exempted from taking mathematics preparatory course (for details on levels of
placement, please refer to categories mentioned in preparation for English language
skills section).
- iii. Preparation for English Language Skills – Academic IELTS Preparatory Course
(AIPC): For students who have passed the Mathematical ability test but have
failed the English language proficiency test, the below mentioned categories will
apply. However, prospective students who score below 350 in TOEFL are rejected by
SUC.
- Category A: Students who have scored between 351 and 424 in TOEFL (ITP) or
between 2.0 and 3.5 in IELTS (Academic), will undergo a preparatory course in IELTS
(Academic) for a period of one semester of Basic – AIPC (total of 190 contact hours)
and at the end of the course students will appear for IELTS (Academic) Exam. Their
maximum number of contact hours will be dedicated towards preparation for IELTS
(Academic) during the semester. This is a non credit course.
- Category B: Students who have scored between 425 and 499 in TOEFL (ITP) or
between 4.0 and 4.5 in IELTS (Academic) will be admitted into preparatory course
in IELTS (Academic) for a period of one semester Advanced – AIPC (total of 120 contact
hours). At the end of the course students will appear for IELTS (Academic) Exam.
Such students will be allowed to enroll in BBA with a 3 credit hour course of freshman
level (as shown in the table below). AIPC is a non credit course.
- Category C: Students who cannot score a minimum of 5.0 in IELTS (Academic)
admitted as per category A & B they will be allowed to re-register for IELTS preparatory
semester again. In this category, students can enroll into a freshman level with
an available 3 credit hour course if they score 4.0 and above in IELTS (Academic).
Note 1: If the students fail to acquire the required level of English proficiency
even after re-admission and wish to exit SUC will be awarded a transcript for the
completed BBA level courses.
Note 2: Students who score between 475 and 499 in the entrance exam of TOEFL
will be eligible to retake a TOEFL test without attending any preparatory course
if they are confident of scoring 500 or above in the subsequent TOEFL test. However,
applicable TOEFL exam fee will be charged. If students score 500 or above they will
be admitted into the BBA Program. If they are unable to score 500 in the latest
attempt, they will be required to undergo a preparatory course in English and the
latest IELTS (Academic) scores will be considered as the basis to place the student
in the IELTS (Academic) preparatory course.
- c. Scenario 3: If Student falls short of qualifying score in math but obtains
qualifying score in English: In this scenario, the student will undergo IELP
(Academic IELTS preparatory course) to improve English language skills towards meeting
the admission requirements and she/he will be exempted from taking mathematics preparatory
course (for details on levels of placement, please refer to categories mentioned
in preparation for English language skills section). In this scenario, students
have to take the Mathematics preparatory course (MAT001 - Numeracy) to improve the
mathematical abilities. Such students are eligible to be admitted into courses other
than Maths at the BBA degree program on a simultaneous progression with the Mathematics
preparatory course. Such students can progress up to Sophomore Level until they
pass the Mathematics preparatory course with 60% marks. The courses available for
provisional status admission are:
