The first problem i faced was that Shoolini University was in Himachal and it would be really difficult to adapt to the climate. Also other factors stopped me from choosing Shoolini over St. Joseph's. The first was that St. Joseph's provide a great learning space for students opting professional courses like BBA and help them interact and meet business officials and entrepreneurs and provide exposure. They have a legacy of 142 years and also after talking to some of the alumnis i came to the decision of choosing St. Joseph's. The admission process is easy and students have to fill form and give an entrance test if there is any for their course and if selected they will be called for the interview round
