ADMISSION TO STUDENTS FAILING TO QUALIFY PLACEMENT TESTS

ACADEMIC IELTS PREPARATORY COURSE
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 Mathematics)
AIPC and Mathematics 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.

Scenario 2 (If Student Falls Short of Qualifying Score in English But Obtains Qualifying Score in Mathematics)
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.

Preparation for English Language Skills
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 AIPC (Basic or Advanced based on band) semester again. In this category, students can enroll into the freshman level (BBA) with an available 3 credit hour course if they score 4.0 and above in IELTS (Academic).


INTENSIVE ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROGRAM (IELP)
SUC offers IELP to those students whose competency in English language skills are not adequate either to appear for TOEFL exam or to take up Basic / Advanced AIPC. The registered students for IELP have an option to undergo a general English course for one semester. This course is categorized into four levels-Beginners, Elementary, Intermediate and Advanced. Upon the completion of this course, based on their performance, students will be directed either to Basic AIPC or Advanced AIPC. On successful completion of IELP, candidates will be issued proficiency certificates.

Scenario 3 (If Student falls short of qualifying score in math but obtains qualifying score in English)
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:
