Choose your classWhat is the TIL-I?
The TIL-I (Test In Laib for Engineering) is Politecnico di Torino's own admission test, required for all its Engineering bachelor's degrees. It is not a CISIA test. For 2026/27 it is taken in person in PoliTO's computer labs: 42 questions in 90 minutes.
| Section | Questions | Minutes |
|---|---|---|
| Mathematics | 16 | 36 |
| Reading comprehension and logic | 10 | 20 |
| Physics | 10 | 22 |
| Basic technical knowledge | 6 | 12 |
| Total | 42 | 90 |
Scoring, thresholds and test dates are set by Politecnico di Torino — always check the official admission notice and the Apply@PoliTO page.
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
