KMD Online Admissions

The online background distributed last weekend for KMD’s critical operations.
Until now, our entrance exams had been a hybrid of in-person and online formats, but starting this time, they’ll be fully online. I realized that making the exams fully online requires not only setting up the necessary environment and systems but also ensuring that all faculty members have the necessary digital literacy(*^^*)
Many people have told me, “KMD, with its international student rate exceeding 60%, must be having a tough time due to the pandemic,” but despite the pandemic occurring during the application period, the number of applicants from overseas actually increased. Why is that?
Once things settle down, I’d like to analyze how the pandemic has affected the decision to study abroad.
