Admission Process Admission Rules for the admission in First Year of Purva Madhyama in Bhot Bauddha Darshana (for two academic sessions only)
Candidates seeking admission in the PM.1 year in this Institute will have to possess the academic qualification of class VIII, passed from any recognised school with knowledge of Tibetan language equivalent to class VIII standard. Candidates are also required to possess knowledge of English or Hindi equivalent to standard VIII.
The eligible candidates will have to appear in the entrance examination. The entrance examination will consist of two written question papers: Tibetan language English or Hindi language (one language to be selected by the candidate). Each paper will be marked out of 100 marks, and will be of 3 hours duration, in accordance with the syllabus outlined in the booklet.
Pass Marks in the entrance examination will be 35 marks for each paper.
A candidate who scores 75% or above in the Tibetan language paper but fails in Hindi/English shall be entitled to get grace marks in English/Hindi up to a maximum of 5 marks.
Only those candidates will be eligible for admission who have clearly passed the entrance examination.
At the time of admission each sampradaya will be allotted a quota of 10 students, except for the Bon sampradaya which will be allotted a quota of 6 students. Rest of the five students will be selected on merit basis.
Selection for admission in each sampradaya will be strictly on merit. For the purposes of admission, merit is indicated by the scores obtained in the entrance examination.
If any portion of the quota in each sampradaya is left vacant, this portion of the quota will be assigned to any other sampradaya purely depending on the merit of the candidates next in line in the general merit list of the entrance examination.
The total intake of students (including non-scholarship candidates) may not exceed 51 in number in any given year.
Admission of SC/ST and handicapped candidates will be according to the UGC guidelines.
For the purposes of admission, monks and nuns and laity are treated equal and admission is based solely upon merit as reflected in the entrance examination. However, a candidate who joins the Institute as a monk or nun may not disrobe until graduation; a student who disrobes before that time will be expelled from the Institute.
The admission of students admitted will be considered provisional, and will be confirmed only upon submission of their original School-Leaving Certificate/Transfer Certificate, Character Certificate, mark-sheets etc. from the Institution last attended, within fifteen days of the release of the list of candidates offered admission. Candidates who are unable to submit the required certificates/documents within the stipulated time must submit an application to the office along with the recommendation from the head of the concerned sampradaya/section. The admission committee may, after examining the authenticity of the case, grant to the candidate an additional fifteen days beyond the period specified for the submission of the original documents. If the candidate is unable to submit the required documents even within this extended period, his/her admission will be treated as invalid and the next candidate in the line will be offered admission.
The admission of students admitted will be considered provisional until they have been examined and certified by the institute's medical personnel as being fit to pursue their course of study at the Institute.
The final confirmation-notice naming the admitted candidates will be circulated after the orientation talk by the Honorable Director of his representative from the Office.
