No. Enrollment is open year-round. However, time-sensitive enrollments (such as enrolling right before the annual exams or a few weeks before a standardized test date) will be evaluated on an individual basis.
Since our faculty works from different countries and time-zones, the hours are decided based on availability of both student and faculty. The student may select their preferred timings in the enrollment form, which we will then communicate to the concerned faculty members.
Adabistan was established in the wake of COVID-19, when our team recognized the urgent need for a fast-paced, interactive, accessible virtual learning environment (VLE) to cater to the global student community by eliminating the constraints and limitations of campus logistics.
