My Experience at PN College: Campus Life, Cources, and Everything in Between

I applied to RMD Degree College, but got admitted to PN College in the second round. I choose PN College because it offer great facilities like sports, a library, scholarships, hostels and a low admission fee. The autonomous status and the convenient location also made it stand out. Other college didn't offer the same resources , which influenced my decision. The admission process is simple: you pay the fee online and submit the receipt at college. The eligibility requires 60% marks, and the cut-off is around 60%. The expericence was smooth and straightforward.

Stewart science college from a lens worth reading

Student Snaps:

The first and foremost reason I chose this college was because of reputation it holds in my city. It is an all science subject college, hence all the teachers are very much into academic growth and personality development. I applied for another college but due to high cut off I wasn't chosen, but the cut offs of Stewart science college was merely perfect for me and so was the environment. To get admission into our college, one has to enroll in SAMS app and fill the required details and wait for the merit list.

Christ Memories

I applied in Ravenshaw university and Stewart College before I got into christ college. To be honest I chose the college as per my marks scored in 12th. Yes, I got rejected from Ravenshaw university as my mark was lower than the cut off. Admission process is smooth and offline and you've to pay the course fee then and there. If you're scoring above 73% then u are safe to get into Christ college I'd say.
