Language Test and Adaptability to Ashram Life Interview

All candidates must sit for the Selection Test and Adaptability to Ashram Life Interview. Bihar Yoga Bharati will take no responsibility and can make no allowances for any substantial language difficulties experienced by students who have enrolled in English medium courses (see English Language Requirements).

Both the test and the interview will be held at the Ganga Darshan ashram campus approximately one week prior to the commencement of the course. The language test is of 1½ hour’s duration. The interview is of approximately 15 minutes’ duration and provides candidates and staff with an opportunity to assess whether the ashram environment of Ganga Darshan will suit prospective students. No preparation is required for either the test or the interview.

The language test is aimed mainly at preserving an adequate standard of English/Hindi language ability according to the course medium. The interview is aimed mainly at ensuring that students will be adaptable enough to complete the course, which is fully residential and often requires, as well as engendering, significant adaptability.

Orientation Program

A compulsory orientation program of three days duration takes place after the test and interview have been held for the successful applicants. During this orientation period, the selected students will have a further opportunity to assess their ability to adapt to the ashram environment before final registration and the commencement of the course.

Admission

At the end of orientation students will be required to finalize their enrolment. At this time, all relevant documents supporting the application must be presented in the original or as certified copies. In the absence of originals, copies must be certified by the issuing institution with an accompanying letter on institution letterhead. In addition, students must submit the course remittance.
