Admission:

I chose hcas for several reasons, firstly my sister's friend had a positive experience at the college and securing a job at hcl after completing her BBA at HCAS. Initially I applied to madras Christian College and women's Christian College in online registration. However, the application process didn't progress and the college locations were inconvenient to me. Hcas admission process: No donation was required, and no entrance exams and cut offs marks were necessary. Although I'm satisfied with the college overall but the campus infrastructure is disappointing.
