RRUb is a revelation and exactly why I gave RSET, which one has to give for studying here. I had confirmed admission from Symbiosis as I gave SNAP Test as well. The fees there is very high and plus the course that I wanted to study was the one I am studying now and therefore I chose this course.

Admission in RRU is different than many as 12th criteria is there but certainly not the only thing. RSET is must and has to be given and cleared. Though not many apply so competition as of now is less indeed.

For those who want to study defense there is no other college in country but is. Thus, I have given RSET which is mandatory here and then after that round studnets are allowed or rather called for an interview. Clearing both the rounds is how one gets admission in RRU.

No other colleges offer such a course and therefore I gave RSET and since not many students apply so there's no such cut off as of now. However a small interview where basic questions on politics and history are asked and the one who answers even half of them correct is granted admission at RRU, Gandhinagar.

Admission:

The current admission process to this institution comprises of an interview round and written examination, along with highest education scores. Personally, I opted for this college only as I was determined to pursue my career in the field of government service and public policies. This course was the only one I believed that could nuture my development and aid my holistic growth in the field I wanted to go, after moving from a bio-science with maths background in my 12th and scoring a good percentile of around 90.
