There are courses such as computer science and B.L. Ed. wherein you have to give written exam to get a seat in college. However, there is only merit-based selection for BA students. The procedure is simple but hectic considering the number of students who apply each year. Once you clear the required cutoff generated by the college you need to come here with essential documents and submit them as asked by the said authorities who are admission incharge of the college. Lastly, they call you for a bit of paper work and there you have it. Your fate is sealed at Miranda House College.
