Admission planning

Language requirements

  • For admission without English-language conditions, the undergraduate IELTS Academic requirement is 6.5 overall and 6.5 in writing.
  • Ottawa's India guidance allows an English-test exemption based on CBSE/CISCE senior English at 75%; confirm the evidence accepted for the individual file.
  • French immersion has separate language and funding implications.

Admission planning

Study intakes

  • For this English Honours BSc, the programme-specific table lists fall 2027 admission and no winter or spring/summer admission.

Admission planning

Application deadlines

  • The English Computer Science table lists 15 January 2027 for international applications and 15 February 2027 for documents.
