It was basically merit-based admission on the basis of the 12th result. The college had all the facilities and all the data was online so we can get the form online, fee submission on online mode, and all other kinds of updates from the university website as well. Since it was a govt. College, we had the reservation according to the national policies and all were followed thoroughly. the only defect oi think they had was, even after everything was online mode, the students had to submit a hard copy of everything as proof. The staff was not very used to all the technology and hence they required a hardcopy of all the proof they had in their online database.
Read Full ReviewThe admission process for my course was based on boards marks. Appearent needed to have secured a minimum of 45% marks in aggregate for general category and 40% marks in aggregate for SC/ST category in order to be eligible. The application form was available online, along with the application fees and dates which could be availed from University website or on-site campus . Reservation benefits were also available if applicable. I think there should be more awareness about the admission process so that students from all backgrounds can apply to their desired courses without any hindrance or difficulty.
