    A score of 26 is a great start. Most good universities in United States generally look for student scores between 28 and 30. While the very best schools often expect a 33 or even higher. Always prepare well for it.

Yes, candidates are allowed to apply for Jindal School of Journalism and Communication BSc (Hons) admissions if they failed to secure the appropriate score in one exam but managed it in another. However, appearing for multiple entrance exams may not be possible always as most of them are held around the same time.

Candidates will need to look at the registration timeline for all accepted entrance exams to plan their attempts.

No, BSc (Hons) students who wish to apply for the Jindal School of Journalism and Communication scholarships are required to appear for JSAT. The evaluation of the BSc (Hons) students will be based on the JSAT score. Candidates who did not appear for the JSAT during admissions can still apply to appear for the exam after securing admissions.

FLAME has an internal assessment process that considers various parameters for selection of candidates. Test score is one of these selection parameters. Candidates can still expect admission if they have an average score in the entrance test. Candidates can also apply for FLAME Entrance Aptitude Test (FEAT) for admissions.

Yes, submitting a valid ACT or SAT score will now become mandatory from the 2027-28 session. Students interested in Fall 2028 admissions, will have to submit either of the two scores. It was stopped during the COVID-19 pandemic, however, the university has now decided to introduce this policy again.

The university, in its recent findings, discovered that students who did submit SAT or ACT scores, did much better in their studies on campus, than those who didn't.
