Remarks:

In the case of Cotton University, there is no Entrance Exam. Your selection is completely based on your 12th class Percentage. There are reservation systems based on caste. If you are SC ST EWS or OBC or any other category with disabled included, there is a reservation system, particularly for them. There is also a fee waiver system which is very helpful for those with economically weaker backgrounds who are financially weak. They will take comparatively less money from you than the others. As this is a prestigious government University, only students having a very good percentage are taken into admission. And, compared to other private universities, the fees are very very low and affordable even without any reservations or fee waivers. The admission forms are available in the University portal only during the time of admission. It is previously notified on the official website. Better to be alert from before if you are interested.
