Admission:

As I have aimed to get addmission in st Joseph's College of engineering in Chennai in councelling. But due to some circumstances I couldn't get seat in that college. Due to parents opinion i have joined in sri manakula Vinayagar enginnering college. Comparison between st Joseph's and sri manakula Vinayagar enginnering college is cannot be done because of cost of living will be different from Chennai. Admission process is also simple as well can get addmission by approaching college office.

Actually, the admission process was really smooth and fast at Pondicherry University, compared to other central universities, such as DU, JNU, BHU and HCU. In there cases, the admission process was very slow. I preferred Pondicherry University over other universities because of its sea beach-facing.
