Review about Pub kamrup college

Admission:

Apart from this college, I had also applied to Cotton College, Dibrugarh University but was not selected due to high cut off. My cutoff in Cotton was 91 percent and the cutoff for General category was 92 percent. If I did not get any result anywhere then I took admission in this college only.Admission in our college is done on 2 basis, one on the basis of class 12 marks and the other on the basis of cuet exam.And those taking admission on both the basis have to do online registration through Samarth website, after which admission is done in the college as per the merit list.Those who do not get it, they should get spot admission in the last minute if the seat remains vacant.The cutoff for science stream is more than 60%, the cutoff for general caste students in botany and zoology departments is more than 75%.Rest of the arts students get admission even with 50% marks.
