Sponsorship Selection Process
Interested candidates must submit a completed application form along with all required supporting documents via KIT’s website or admission email.
Applications will be reviewed by the Admission Committee to ensure that candidates meet the basic eligibility criteria, such as academic qualifications, English Proficiency, and any specific requirements related to the sponsorship.
Eligible candidates will be evaluated based on a set of predefined criteria, which may include academic performance (national exam grade), academic achievements, personal statement and the recommendation letter (partner schools).
Shortlisted candidates will be invited for the screening by the Incubation Center and/or the final interview by the sponsor company to assess their suitability for the sponsorship and program with the sponsorship committee.
The final selection will be made based on the overall assessment of the candidates, and successful applicants will be notified via admission email.
The selected candidate will receive an official invitation to sign off the Sponsorship Agreement. This agreement outlines the terms and conditions of the sponsorship, including responsibilities, expectations, and benefits for both parties. It is crucial that the candidate thoroughly reviews the document and ensures they understand all aspects before signing. This step formalizes the candidate's participation and solidifies the commitment from both the candidate and the institution.
