THEIR ANSWERS
Q. When can I begin my studies ?

have sessions or terms. A student can begin the course at any time of the year
at his convenience. This is the greatest advantages of correspondence tuition as
a student need not remain idle waiting for a term to begin.

Paul's Institute at Pant Nagar, Mumbai-400 075, or to travel to meet with
Institute
authorities or a tutor ?
A. No, you need not. Our academic and
administrative systems are carefully designed so that you can complete all of
the work without leaving your home or disrupting your personal life. You are
cordially welcome to visit our office it you wish, but there is no requirement
that you do so. For your academic program your contact with your Tutor by Mail
serves as a major link with the Institute. This is frequently also accomplished
by phone and by mail.
Q. What other expenses will there be
besides the Tuition, Exam & Diploma fee?
A. None payable to the Institute. You
may incur telephone, or mailing expenses of your own, but there are no
additional costs or the administration and academic processing. The fee for your
tutor, and Institutes are covered by the single tuition amount.
Q. Can I get a Scholarship ? Can I arrange an
extended tuition payment plan over several months or longer ?
A. Some limited scholarship funds are available.
These are awarded on the basis of need and merit. You should discuss your
individual situation with the Director of Admissions. You can also discuss with
him your needs for extending the tuition payments over a period of time. This
can generally be arranged. All tuition fees must be paid in full prior to
getting, the Diploma.
Q. When I sent in tuition fees and enroll,
what will be the next step ?
A. You will receive in the mail full enrolment
information and study material. These include instructions regarding how to
provide information about prior experience, and how to answer questions given
at the end of lessons.
Q. How long will it take to get my
diploma?
A. That depends on you. All work at the institute
is individualized and paced to each student's abilities and needs. Some highly
qualified and energetic students complete the requirements for the Diploma in a
few months, Others spread out their work and take much longer, perhaps up to one
and a half years.
Q. Is SPI Diploma recognized, approved or
accredited ?
A. These and other similar terms are frequently
used, and almost as frequently misunderstood. The Diploma Course of
St. Paul's Institutes is not recognized by the Government and is not intended as
a substitute for a government recognized Diploma. If your aim is to secure a
government recognized qualification this can be done by passing one of the
professional examinations or academic courses (i.e. B.A., B.Com., B.Sc., B.B.A.,
B.M.M., B.B.M., B.C.A., B.Ed., B.G.L, B.Lib., M.A., M.Com., M.Sc., M.L.M., M.M.M.,
M.F.M., M.H.R.D., M.P.M., M.I.M., M.C.A., M.B.A. Diplomas etc.) for which St.
Paul's College provides postal tuition. Such examinations are, however, beyond
the reach of many. To them we strongly recommend our general Training Course
which provide a thorough Knowledge of management commercial Engineering
subjects. The Diploma you will receive after such a course is well known to
employers and enables our students to secure promotion or employment in India &
Abroad.
Q.Will you help me to get a job?

be registered with our Employment Advice Bureau and can get guidance in
job/education/ scholarship opportunities in India and Abroad.
