Why you should/shouldn't join LISSAH

Admission:

I was called for admission from Kuniya College(Kasaragod) But didn't joined there, because many suggest not to join there as it was newly opened college at that time. Also distance to college from home was a factor to not choose that college. Other colleges were Amal College Nilambur and Kadathanad College Vadakara.
