Admission to the Academy is by examinations and selection. Applicants for admission must submit their applications to the Admission Commission. On becoming entrants they must take entrance examinations and selection on interview. Examinations are highly competitive.

If the entrant passes the examinations successfully he is enrolled, as a full-time student, resident or non-resident.
