This university has a great brand value and one of the best Chemistry department all over India. You can ask almost anyone and they would proceed you to refer to this college . I was admitted in the year 2021. In that year, there was no admission test. Everyone was selected on the basis of their Secondary and Higher Secondary examination result. From later on, Administration opted for admission test. This is held every year at about July or august. The exam is held in the University campus. And all the students are asked to attend the counselling round otherwise they wouldn't be eligible for the upcoming lists.
