Students from the literary stream in high school or equivalent could be admitted only to four programs at the College of
Engineering without needing the Dean’s recommendation:
a. Interior Design
b. Architecture
c. Aviation

Students from the Scientific or Industrial Vocational/Technical streams or equivalent could be admitted to any of the
College programs.
All College of Engineering students must take the Math Placement Test (MPT) administered by the University College.
Based on the MPT result, students will be placed in one of the following math courses depending on their program of
study: MTH 100, MTT 101, or MTT 102.
Students are allowed to take the MPT only once. Students who will take MTH 100 as a remedial course (i.e., it is not part
of their curriculum) must pass it with a minimum grade of C before taking MTT 101. The same minimum requirement
applies to students taking MTT 101 as a remedial course.

The following condition applies to Bachelor of Architecture program:
All applicants to the Bachelor of Architecture Program are required to submit or present a portfolio of graphic work for
evaluation as part of the admission requirements. The portfolio should demonstrate creativity and/or artistic skill; it may
include freehand drawings, paintings, furniture, sculpture, craft objects, creative photography, construction projects, etc.
Applicants can be selectively interviewed by two members of the teaching staff. The staff will be looking for a genuine
interest in the subject demonstrated by background reading, current affairs, and, where possible, work experience. The
interviewers are looking for evidence of creative intent.
