I have a friend from Stella Maris College Chennai. Here is what she told me about the admission process at the institute.
Shortlisted candidates from round-1 are called for an interview. In the interview round, you need to bring all the original certificates. The following are the questions that they generally ask.
The interviewer is usually a faculty member from a particular department in the college. An interview doesn’t guarantee that you will get admission. But most of the interviewed students get selected until and unless there is a valid rejection point.
