4. Registration Window
Registration is open from Ganesh Chaturthi (Mon, Sep 14, 2026) to Vijayadashami (Tue, Oct 20, 2026).
An extension of up to two weeks may be granted, subject to a $25 late fee.
5. Schedule, Rescheduling, and Cancellation Policy
Most Sangeeta Bharati examinations will be conducted on weekends during December. Due to the complexity of coordinating students, examiners, and examination venues, students must be prepared to appear on any weekend in December. Sangeeta Bharati will communicate the confirmed examination schedule and venue details at least 30 days in advance.
Once the examination schedule has been published, any request for rescheduling must follow Sangeeta Bharati’s formal rescheduling procedure. Such requests are subject to examiner availability, administrative approval, and a rescheduling fee of $25. Approval of rescheduling requests is not guaranteed.
In unavoidable circumstances, students may request cancellation before the commencement of examination-related activities, including theory classes or examination scheduling, whichever occurs first. Eligible cancellations will receive a refund after deduction of a $25 administrative cancellation fee. Once either activity has commenced, examination fees are non-refundable.
If Sangeeta Bharati cancels an examination and is unable to offer a reasonable alternative, the examination fee will be refunded in full.
6. Theory Classes
Until Sangeeta Bharati develops comprehensive self-study materials, the organization will offer up to 10 complimentary theory classes for students enrolled in Pravesha Levels 2, 3, and 4.
These classes will be held on weekends, beginning shortly after registration closes and following Vijayadashami.
Participation is entirely optional, and students may choose to attend the classes or prepare independently through self-study.
7. Confirmation & Communication
After completing registration, students will receive a detailed email confirming their selected examination.
If you do not see the confirmation email, please check your spam/junk folder before contacting Sangeeta Bharati.
