Admission Process
Admission happens through a process called JoSAA Counseling, which usually has several rounds.
- Round 1: The most competitive round. Only students with the very best ranks secure seats here.
- Middle Rounds (2-5): As some students choose other colleges, seats open up and the closing ranks slide down slightly.
- Round 6 & CSAB: This is the final chance. If seats are still empty, they are offered in special rounds where students with slightly higher ranks often find a spot.
