Admission
I applied to JEE, KCET and a few state level exams. While i did get admission in 2-3 colleges, I wasn't getting CSE, and most were more theory focused. I wanted a practcal, industry aligned program, which is why I chose SST The admission process required a minimum of 60% in Math in 12th grade. I had to clear an entrance test called NSET, followed by a personal interview. It was competative, but well organized. I used a refferal code during registration, which reduced the exam fee

Faculty here are very supportive and approachable. 1:1 help is always available via BSMs, TAs, and the buddy program with seniors. All faculty focus on practical learning. The course runs in 3-month modules with 3 subjects each. Exams are pratical based, and grading follows a realtive CGR system, whcih can be tough
