Student Snaps:

Admission:

Before choosing this college I searched about Kruk Shera University, but but that university was too far from my house so I did not choose that university and apart from that I also tried to take admission in BU university in Chandigarh, but because of some board issues I didn't applied there, but when I searched about this university, I found everything was perfect and it was also near my house and there was also hostel facilities for me to stay there, so I thought this is the best university for me and and the admission process is really easy in this college. for taking admission you just need your 10th and 12th mark sheet and some basic documents like Aadhaar card and other basic details. The registration fees is also very less it's only ?50 for registration form. There is no any additional fees for anything else.
