Attendance-

Focus area- 

• If your goal is holistic development i.e. curriculum studies plus co-curricular activities, then NM college is the preferred choice. 
• HR is close to NM in this race. But NM provides a wider exposure owing to its central location of the college, surrounded by various other universities.

Community- Often this factor is excluded while selecting a college, but this factor is as important as any of the above-mentioned factors. Although, if you have good people skills, you don’t need to consider it. But if you need a community then, in NM you will be surrounded by Gurjatis and in HR by Sindhis.

Infrastructure-
