My name came for Maths Hons in the first list and the admission process was smooth. When I went to the college for physical verification one week after the list came out, the teachers were approachable and they explained the details of the course to us and also encouraged us to take electives that would synchronize with our current syllabus and curriculum. For us the admission process was hassle-free. The orientation took place the same day. Only 5 students were admitted to our course and many seats got wasted.
