I choose this college because I really like the motto of it which is about women empowerment. Itself women's College but it's not like other women's colleges ,there is no place for misogyny here. The teachers are really supportive. I felts like I belong to this college that's why I choose this college over others. The admission process is really easy you have to fill up the form online for this college after your higher secondary examination. If you are in their criteria then they will choose you based on your marks and they will call you for admission. Then you have to go there in the office they will do all source of admission curriculum. Then the sister will talk with you about the college she will express how she feels that you are in their college. It's like a warm welcome. I applied for other colleges like Scottish Church College, bethune college, Lady B College, presidency University, and many more and I got into Scottish Church and others but I choose this one as it's the best.
