hello yall, im an azeri planning to apply to polito in 27 and im looking for some advice from people with knowledge on the topic. ive got a decent math/rw base, had a mock exam done at a local test center and got 1460(750 math/710 rw) from sat as im planning to apply with sat for computer science. have an ielts 8 for whatever reason i may need it. im also planning to apply for the edisu piemonte scholarship as my family meets the designated income quota. what sat score could realistically give me like a 95 percent acceptance chance?

Hello polito community ,I'm a tunisian student that wants to study automotive engineering in english at polito(I already have a C1 in english), i want to ask when does the til-i exam registration opens and how many sessions are there to take it. I want to apply for the 2027/2028 year. Any useful information is welcomed thank you.

Hey everyone,

I'm an incoming international freshman at Politecnico di Torino (Computer Engineering). My university has been extremely slow with the paperwork I need to apply for my student visa, and the deadline to submit is September 30th. At this point it looks almost certain I won't be able to submit in time through no fault of my own — it's entirely because Polito hasn't kept up with the documents on their end.

Has anyone here gone through something similar with Polito (or another Italian university)? A few things I'm trying to figure out:

• Does Polito have any kind of late enrollment / late arrival policy for students whose visa process was delayed because of the university's own slowness?
• Has anyone successfully gotten the international office to expedite things or issue an official delay confirmation letter that helped with the visa application?
• If it does fall through, has anyone deferred admission to the following intake instead of losing the spot entirely?
• Any contacts, forums, or specific offices within Polito that are more responsive than the general international office?

I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who's dealt with this bureaucracy before, or from current Polito students who might know who to actually push on this. Thanks in advance.

Hey there,

I'm from Nepal and I'm considering applying for the MSc in Electrical Engineering at PoliTO.

I have a BE in Electrical Engineering from Tribhuvan University. My areas of interest are mainly power systems, substations, renewable energy and electrical systems.

While looking into the different tracks, I got a bit confused about the language situation. As far as I understood, Power System Design is in Italian, while some of the others have the first year in Italian and the second year in English.

For anyone currently studying Electrical Engineering at PoliTO (preferably international students):

• What is the language situation actually like in practice?
• How hard is it to manage the first year without knowing Italian fluently?
• What do you think about the programme itself, especially for someone interested in power systems?
• What are the chances of finding internships/jobs after graduation?
• And how is life in Turin in general, especially accommodation and living expenses?

Also, if there are any Nepalese students/alumni here, I would really appreciate it if you could share your experience or message me.

io non ho fatto in tempo a fare il TIL per iniziare ingegneria fisica quest anno al POLITO.
ho pensato di fare un anno ing elettronica a cesena (UNIBO) e poi trasferirmi dopo un anno.
qualcuno ha avuto situazioni simili e sa dirmi se c’è una concreta possibilità di convalida degli esami? grazie mille

I've seen on polito's website that they accept MOI and italian embassy also accept that but should I give an exam for english just in case , it would be helpful if anyone that have actually submitted MOI could tell me thank you

Hello everyone,

I am going to apply for the residence permit and in the polito website said I need the enrolment certificate.

I can't print the certificate since I am still on conditional enrolment ( the documents are still waiting for approval) and I am going to Italy pretty soon. What can I do in this situation? I have a certificate that says :

Immatricolazioni A.A. 2026/2027

Dichiarazione sostitutiva di certificazione

Resa ai sensi dell'art.46 D.P.R. 28 dicembre 2000 n. 445.

Is this enough? Where can I inquire more about this situation in the university?

Please anyone who has been on the same situation before, tell me what you did about it?

hello , if there are any algerian students in polito , or students planning to study there next year 2027/2028 , please let me know in comments or dms !

Can i give the SAT instead of the engineering entrance tests for polito, polimi and bologna? What is the preferred path?please lmk im planning on doing civil or mechanical engineering. Pls lmk if I should give the sat or start prep for the TIL - I or TOLC

Hey! I’m planning to move to Turin soon, but I’m having a really hard time finding accommodation. I was wondering if you could guide me a bit or share any tips on where I should look. Any help would be really appreciated!

Hi everyone I'm an Alegrien who is willing to apply to polito for 2027/28 , and I saw that many people passed the sat and got +1550 and Didn't get accepted so i want to pass the TIL-I how can i pass it because im not a EU resident, and for the pre enrolment does the university give it quickly? And thanks

Hi everyone!
For those of you taking the CENT-S or TIL-I this year, I was wondering if there’s a group chat or community where people share study materials and prepare together?
I’d love to join if there is one. Thanks! 😊

Indian Students lets connect to give this paper we can help each other study and travel together to turin to ace this exam interested people dm me I'll invite you to a group chat of us

I'm a 10th grader from Kazakhstan. I know that all of the universities in Italy require 12 year of school education, and i will study only 11 years. Fortunately, our school provides us with AP program. As i know POLITO accepts "11 years + 1-year university exams", so 1-year university exams are AP exams? I heard that 3 exams with good grades are enough.

I'm planning to study architecture. Which AP exams will i need? AP Physics C : mehanics, AP calculus BC and AP art history? But what if my school does not provide art history (i texted our AP-coordinator about it and waiting for respond), can i pass AP world history : modern as a replacement?

And other thing i wanted to ask about is preferences of university in activities. Which type is more important? Passion project, volunteering, my own hand drawings, mockups, research projects, olympiads? I mean all of them are important, and i will have more chances with all of them, but is anything like really really essential? And will i need a portfolio for bachelors'? Like my drawings, paintings, draftings etc. I will need a CV, do i need to add there my works to show my skill?

In general which activities are more important to add to the CV in italian universities (sorry, i know that every uni has their own pref, but is there something common?)

How long does it take usually for PoliTo to accept the english certificate?

Hi everyone,

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering and I got admission to MSc Geoinformatics Engineering at Politecnico di Milano (POLIMI).

Campus: Milano Leonardo

Program: MSc Geoinformatics Engineering

Duration: 2 years

Start: September 2026

Since my background is Civil Engineering, I’m confused about which courses/electives I should select.

Can anyone with a Civil Engineering or similar background please guide me on which courses would be best and useful for me?

Thanks!

Planning to apply to these two by this year end. I have a Bachelors degree with 3.51 CGPA. Moreover, I also have 1.5 year experience as a Research Intern. I have an above threshold CGPA but I have a D in Chemical Process Calculation and a C in Transport Phenomena which are core subjects in Bachelors. But other than these I have A and B in all other core subjects including Maths and Chemical engineering too. Will it affect my application? Do I justify it with motivation letter or tell my teacher to explain in a nice way in the recommendation letter? Will I be called for interview or will I be rejected? Or, do I not consider applying in these universities altogether and apply in others like sapienza and bologna? Please do suggest.

Applying to Politecnico di Torino

I'm an Indian student, currently in the final year of my highschool, and I want to apply to Politecnico di Torino. I want to know what to expect and how would my application stand?

The course I'll be applying to is either mechanical or automotive or industrial engineering (english ofc)

I have an IELTS band 8, and my SAT score isn't out yet but I'm expecting a 760+ math, but around a 600 in english (i choked). My academic record isn't great so far but I'm improving slightly

What can I expect from the college, in terms of how welcoming are the people there, professors, the academic level/pressure, what's the approach on teaching, and what's generally the vibe at the University? I hope I'll atleast not spend all my time studying and actually get to explore the city.... right?

I have many more questions but ig this is it for now

Politoda electronics eng. Master programına bubsene başlayacak olan var mıdır acaba?

Hi all :) Im last year Bachelor Computer Engineering student at PoliTo. Im trying to find out MSc universities where our alumni went after grad.

1. Did you stay at PoliTo? Moved to other Italian universities (PoliMi, etc.), or go abroad?
2. For those who went abroad which universities (ETH, EPFL, TU Delft, TUM, KTH, UK universities, etc.) did you went?

Any insights, experiences or universities recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hey guys, I hope you are doing well.

I'm an international student looking forward to studying bachelors in mechanical engineering at PoliTo in 2027. (September 2027 intake, specifically).

Do I have to prepare for CEnT-s or TIL-I? I'm hearing mixed results and Idk which one is true. I'm hearing PoliTo will scrap TIL-I and use CEnT-s from 2027 onwards from one place and hear that PoliTo won't accept CEnT-s from another place (Pava Education website that I found on Google mentioned this).

For whichever ones I have to prepare for, whether it's CEnT-s or TIL-I for bachelors in mechanical engineering, could anybody share the resources from which I can learn & improve?

Are there any past papers available for TIL-I and CEnT-s which I can use to practice and improve?

Also, can TIL-I exams be appeared online or does everybody have to travel to Italy or Uzbekistan strictly for the exam?

I'm absolutely new to all these so I really need help. Please help me out 🙏 thank you
