3 semesters (half year each). The illusion of 2 years is the result of trying to align the annual intake month of university. You will sit at home for 9 months after semester 3 before knowing your placement in IPTA. Private universities usually have intake as soon as the result is released, so that case you will have a start lead. And not to say private universities try to achieve high turnover, so they have fewer break too.
