Admission:

The admission process is simple to understand, we need to give an entrance exam called JEE which is very famous in India, people who got 75%+ in their 12th boards in stream PCM can apply for the exam. After giving the exam we need to wait for the result in which our rank is declared and after that counselling process is done by govt. colleges which allot colleges and streams to students if they filled that in the list, according to their ranks. The application form for jee is released by nta on their website nta.nic.in and application fees at my time was 650 per exam attempt, it's a Little bit higher now. Students with good ranks in jee mains can get this college and the cut-off for my stream(E.C.E) was around 27K rank for general, 35k for E.W.S, for SC, ST it was around 1.5 lakh and for P.W.D it was around 5.8 lakh There was no girls quota but these were the reservations available which I have mentioned above.
