Remarks:

Honestly, I chose this college mainly because it was within my budget, had a decent reputation, and the location was good for me. Some seniors from my school had also studied here and gave good feedback, so that helped. Also, it’s affiliated with a well-known university, so that added to the trust factor. For admission, I didn’t face any group discussion (GD) or personal interview (PI). The admission was purely based on merit—my 12th board marks. Some colleges do take entrance exams like CUET or state-level CET, but for this one, there wasn’t any written test or exam. Just fill out the application form, upload the documents, and wait for the merit list.
