KCOP MPT FAQs
Ques. What is the difference between government quota and management quota for MPT admission at Kanachur KCOP?

Management quota seats are filled directly by the college and are open to candidates from across India, including those who have not appeared for PGET. Management quota fees are typically higher than government quota fees. Candidates interested in management quota should contact the college admissions office directly at 0824-2203331.
