Application and enrollment starts sooner, around July / August. Admission lasts until September / October. The semester lasts until December, where students take a 2-3 week break and start January.

The second semester of the year is January. New students are also admitted to this semester. The semester will run for about three months. Around May, students take a longer break, which could last for 1-4 months.

Students who started in the first semester will take a longer break, while students who joined in the second semester will take a shorter break and resume.

Summer semester is the third and final semester of the academic year and varies slightly from school to school. The semester begins between June and early September. Studying during the summer semester is optional for most students. However, the students who enroll in the summer semester are those who have missed either the first or second semester and want to make up for it.

New students will also be enrolled in this semester. Classes contain the same amount of material and are more focused and intense, with students having to cover up for previous semesters. In this semester, students are working smartly and intensively.

Most students like to go on vacation during the summer break, while some prefer to stay back in school and study more. Taking summer classes helps some students to “stay in the way” of studying. It helps them to maintain the routine of learning and studying throughout the summer. They may also be helped to retain information from the previous semester that they will need in the following semester.
