Exemption from foundation course for non commerce

if we get exemption from the foundation course on the basis of our graduation degree (non commerce) are we still required to take any foundation level tests? If no then why does the institute require you to take a postal or an oral tuition? Are we tested for these?

hi Krishna, I have already read that clause. But I want to know about this postal/ oral tuition. Do we have to take any tests for them?

If above foundation subjects areas are not covered in your graduation, then you may choose either oral or postal tuition for those subjects of study and they will conduct tests too at their branches. Better to call up your nearby branch office for detailed procedure for fees, registration etc.

thanks Krishna. But I want to know if I am exempt from the foundation course why do I have to appear for the tests? That's as good as not being exempt at all!

1. I have graduated in Bsc maths so am I eligible for exemption in any of the foundation papers (I am talking about submission of response sheets)?

2. What is the minimum passing for the foundation papers (response sheets) and by what date do we have to submit them in case we are planning to sit for the exams in december?

3. In case I am exempt from any of the papers what proof do I have to show?

4. Also is it possible to see question/ answers to previous years papers?
