Student Snaps:

I applied only here and sacred heart college thevara. I chose this college over sacred heart because this college was bit near compared to that college. I didn’t get a rejection from other college. It was my decision to get admissions here because christ is the one among the two college in india which provides this course which is a bachelors in maths and computerscience together. The admission process was very simple. I applied through the college site. And they called me over one day of the admission process. My admission experience was very smooth.

My internship information and project details

As i said we only have 2 colleges that provide this course in our state and the other one is away from my home this college i am currently studying at is near my hometown so its convenient for me. I didn't apply to any other colleges just this one and got 5th place into the merit lists so i got this course. At my college the admissions process was first i needed to book seat reservation for 2000 rupees and aubmit my admit card for previous board exams then the admission cell looks into the results calculates the percentage and issue the merit list accordingly, those who got into the merit list can choose their cources

Why you should/shouldn't join LISSAH

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.

Best government college in Malappuram district

I applied Victoria college, Palakkad over my college. But then I realized that the Mathematics department in my college is one of the best in Calicut University. Admission process in my college is easy for the students who gathered for admission.

College life

I applied to Asmabi college and got seat in there but my parents already booked management seat in this college.And also my parents didn't like asmabi college so,they told me to study in this college.No,I didn't get rejection from any college.I didn't make it there because this college was more good than that college.There are two ways which a student can get admission here.Management and Merit.For merit eligibility was 90% above and there were no exams for my course.The admission experience was good for me.
