My sylvan journey in JSS?

5Helpful

First applicants take the form from the college office and then fill in the fees through challan in the bank. Then they will give the admission number to us so this is the process of admission. There are no suggestions from my side because everything is perfect at JSS College.

JSS a serene beauty with brains.

4.5Helpful

I was admitted to JSS SMI UG & PG Studies by securing 20th rank in the PGCET exam. The application fees included Rs150/- which was given by the office staff. The academic environment at the college is very soothing and cheering. The fees can be paid by challan and the college campus includes two banks. I didn't avail of any reservation as I belong to the GM category.

The students who passed in 12th grade examination can apply for admission. There is no entrance test for the course. The application form, fees, and other services are available in the office room. There is a fee concession facility for backward class students and meritorious students. The admission process is very good and no improvements are needed in that.
