The first one is held at the time of Inter-DELL National Elocution Competition among all the institutions while the second one is organized on the occasion of Combined National Entrance Exams. Although all affiliated institutions are independent in managing their own administrative affairs but they are fully intact in following MMERC prescribed syllabus, method and quality of education.

“As per the academic calendar this year the Combined National Entrance Exams will be conducted from 21 to 24 March, 2019 in Deoband. Fresh graduates of madaris— Alim or Fazil— from any mainstream madrasa of India are eligible to sit in this entrance exams”, said the national coordinator of DELL course Maulana Muddassir Ahmad Qasmi.
