A lack of network connection for a time period that does not allow the regular execution of the TIL test may result in the annulment of the test itself. Participate in the test implies the acceptance of the methods identified by the Politecnico of Torino, including the video recording to ensure the regularity of the TIL test performance.

The deadline for adding one or more programmes, changing the order of preference or substituting a choice is:  not later than Friday 1st September 2021, and in any case before starting the enrolment process, regardless of the TIL-I  test date.

The TIL-I registration fee is € 50.00. The amount paid cannot be reimbursed under any circumstances, nor can it be considered valid for TIL sessions other than the one for which the applicant has registered.
The registration fee can be paid with various payment methods, including:

Applicants who pay using the method illustrated under number 2) must go back to the Apply@polito platform and specify the payment date (self-declaration). Failure to do so entails that their payment is not valid.Both the payment and the self-declaration must take place before the deadlines illustrated in art. 3 of the Call of the Admission a.y. 2021/22.

Attention: Once you have filled out all the requested information and after you have pushed “Save and Submit”, you will be able to see a new section named "TIL-Ingegneria".  
From this section you can choose the date and time of your TIL test; before paying the test registration fee, we suggest you check which test dates and times are still available. If you do not see your preferred TIL-test date and time, it means that it is fully booked; therefore, you will have to choose a subsequent test date.  

The use of the deferred payment method (for instance, a preprinted notice of payment) is valid solely and exclusively if it is supported by a self-declaration of the payment date which certifies that the payment was made before the deadline for payments on Italian territory. The self-certification must be submitted within the same deadline. If your self-certification is found to be false or incorrect, or if the bank does not confirm your payment within 5 days,  the registration for the test - or the test itself - will be cancelled.How to prepare for the admission test To learn about the prior knowledge requirements for the admission test, check the following webpage: http://orienta.polito.it/en/entry_requirements
