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.
