How does the University of Calicut CAP allotment work for GEMS Malappuram?

The University of Calicut CAP (Centralised Admission Process) is an online portal where you register, enter your Plus Two marks, and list your preferred college-course combinations in order of preference.

Are hostel facilities available at GEMS Malappuram?

The fee data available for GEMS Malappuram indicates hostel charges are billed separately from academic fees for programmes like BA Hons and B.Sc.

What is the difference between CAP seats and management quota seats at GEMS Malappuram?
