That is correct.
there are 2 exam sessions in a year summer and winter.
Winter 2012 exams are going to be held in november.
You can give 2 papers as well of a stage , but if you want to complete the jaibp expeditiously it is recommended you take all 4 courses per stage.
total 3 stages
so in 1 1/2 year your jaibp will be complete
then after that there is a final 6 hour comprehensive exam and after passing it , you will be awarded the complete jaibp diploma.
hope this helps. and gud luck.
