Admission:

To join this course we need to pass out 12. After 12 paper there is one entrance exam known as ( nchmct ) to get addmission in any ihm we need to give this exam and this exam is compulsory as per the college there is cut off of institutions as per ranking ver get the college. The entrance exam is conduct upon up to 12 syllabus means general knowledge ability English maths etc for this entrances exam there are so many class so we can also join that so we can know very well about entrances After all this process while addmission we need to select college from the online website and need to pay 20,000 it will consider in our fees while paying college fees All the documents should be with us while doing addmission such as mark menu of 10,12 if we get addmission bu caste then caste certificate validity income certificate so on

Good evening everyone, during the study progress of 12 th standard we can get a application form in online named as NCHM-TEE. We need to apply for this and this application fees is arround 1300. Next they will conduct an exam it contains mostly about aptitude, English vocabulary and self skills. You need to get arround 60 to 70 percent in that test . We can also get seat easily if we have reservation. If you study well for nchm-tee exam well then you need to check eligibility of reservation. Definitely you'll get a seat.
