The admission is based on KEAM exam results. Being a government collge, the cutoffs are quite strict when in comparison with private college.

After the results are declared, the allotment process is also done via the website and after being alloted we can visit the college with the respective documents and to pay the fee. Overall the admission process is quite manageable and hassle free.
Faculty
The faculty to student ratio is quite good. They are all well qualified from premium institutes. But they may lack the skill to communicate efficiently. However they are open to all the doubts and concerns of the children and are cooperative and helpful sometimes. They also give good resources and recommendation of books for reference and better knowledge of the subject.
