Dear Nilima, I think you can still try applying. Have you got the prospectus?.If not purchase it onliine at www.kmmc.in As I know, there is no need of auditions for preparatory course, but they need an audition for foundation. You can do it. Very simple like me. I'm from Malaysia, I shot a video of me playing some songs and sent it to them through mail. I was chosen imediately after Mr. SelvaKumar watched it. So just simply do this way and try your luck. Do correspond with them through phone regularly, they might forget you due to their busy work. Then if you got chosen, you have to pay the first quarter fees through bank transfer by 25th June. That its!. They will arrange accomodations for outstation/overseas student somewhere nearby KMMC. The rental is not included in the tuition fee. I have no idea how much is the rental. Lets wait and see. I'm going to start my new life in Chennai as well. But its not new to me either, so don't worry lets hope for the best. All the best to you, do update us on your progress. You may join the community on orkut so you could meet more friends who have passed the auditions .http://www.orkut.com/Community.aspx?cmm=46954645 Regards, rajeevan

I'm poised to get my seat there, since, Jyoti M'am has talked with me. Fani , they took ur auditions? Is there any change in rules for out-station student wanting seat in KMMC? They heard me on phone. I'm in Delhi and I have a family. So, I need to decide a lot before settling down in Chennai. Well, the city is not new to me. Reply back soon in todays date, yaar.
