Remarks:

the good aspects can be the faculty, infrastructure, ambience, dahibara, proximity, laboratories, study tours, fests, sports everything. Luckily I've not experienced anything bad to write about. The admission process is the most happening part of my college, first you'll have to appear for the entrance test, after which your 10th and 12th marks will be evaluated along with the entrance marks and accordingly you'll get a rank. securing a seat here is all about merit and what happens on the counselling day. preparation is exaclty the same as you prepare for neet, but here you've to increase your accuracy and efficiency in calculations as here you've to go through 200 questions in 120 mins. but relax, the questions will be easier than neet with no negative marking. some questions will be out of syllabus (in biology), but they wont be much so you need not worry about that.

We get a friendly atmosphere all around. Campus is quite good as its present in bit outskirts of the city, though the you can easily find basic amenities near by. Teachers are qualified from various renowned universities and have the experience of providing good lectures. Library need to be developed including the book number as well as its capacity. For admission process online test is conducted every year in the sub-PCB/PCM. They also consider the performance of both 10th and 12th along with the percentile scored in the entrance test. There are a lot of branches and good number offer great career opportunities ahead. There is no such GD or PI but yes there is a good interaction at the time of paper work while admission.
