Admission:

The admission process was quite easy I guess. College management provides student cells conducted by senior students and NCC candidates in order to guide newly joined students in that college. They guide you properly to the admission center and give proper instructions to submit your documents and personal details forum. Eligibility of course is based on the marks you obtained in the 12th sector. Students who scored at least a score greater than 90 percent can achieve a spot here without going into any difficulties and tensions. Application forms, fees, and dates are provided by the official website of Kerala University one week before the allotment process. Reservation benefits are only applicable to students who came under OBC, OEC, SC, AND ST. Reservation benefits include fees reduction,E grands, scholarships, etc. The admission process is quite easy and adaptive but sometimes it's a little bit a slow process which can often take 1-2 months to complete the whole process i think that something should improve.
