Holidays have also been cut for first, second and third year students. Hence the post-professional training has been narrowed down to one month and the final exam will be held on June 2026. The internship will be for one year.
The official notice states, “Even though it appears that the duration of the course has been shortened, the actual teaching and training hours have been preserved through absorption of the buffer time available during the course, such as Dedicated one month foundation course and holidays.”
