Other colleges I applied for were MG college and Mar Dionisys. I opted for Victoria over them because it offers a better course and is also known for its artistic support. As an artist myself I find Victoria to be very welcoming. Students have total control over the programs of the college. The arts and Kalolsavam are one of the most popular things in Victoria. Victoria College has been the continuous winner of Calicut University for the past 3 years. The admission process is easy. When the allotment is published and you get into the college, a date is allotted for you to go take the admission. Students/volunteers are present to help you out with every step. The eligibility is 12th grade to apply. Cutoffs change with every allotment.

There are around 150 Professors to 2000 students including all departments. The facilities are approachable and nice. The most liked faculty is B.Com due to their strength in students and their relationship with the faculty. The least liked faculty is psychology as they lack major infrastructure. Professors are guest lecturers and keep on changing every year making it hard for students to have a proper relationship with the faculty Per year you have two semester exams and most students clear all subjects. Exams can be in a moderate level except for certain times when it goes a little hard. The course curriculum is what helps a student prepare for exams and 95% of the time all questions come from within the curriculum.
