How the form works
1. Personalव्यक्तिगत
2. Familyपरिवार
3. Courseपाठ्यक्रम
4. Documentsदस्तावेज़
5. Consentसहमति
Your answers are saved as you type, on the same phone or computer. If you close and reopen the form, your text returns — but uploaded files are not saved, so re-attach them.
Documents: PDF, JPG, PNG or DOCX, up to 2 MB each. On a mobile you can photograph documents directly with the camera.
Two languages: every label is shown in English and Hindi. Fill it in whichever you prefer.
The “I’m not a robot” check appears on the last step — complete it before pressing Submit.
Required means the box must be filled. Optional means you may leave it blank.

Have you applied before?
Welcome back. If your earlier application has already been decided and you are an approved KABiL student, the form greets you and files this as a subsequent application for your next year. If you were not selected earlier, you are welcome to apply again as a fresh application. Only an application that is still under review stops you from filing a new one.
Returning to finish later? Your typed answers come back automatically on the same phone or browser, but uploaded files are not saved — please re-attach every document before you submit.
