I have applied for so many exams like VITEEE, BITSAT, COMEDK, and many more apart from JEE. Since I secured only 90 percentile in Jee mains so , I begin to look for private colleges. And I secured 44k rank in VITEEE where getting admission under category 3 during counselling becomes difficult. I fought challenge of unexpected high fees. Again in Bitsat, I was bothering with high fees if I get admitted in B. Pharma. Also.,I get admission in Thapar in civil branch , I qill opt but at that time fees was ?269000 per semester..... Which covers my total 1 year academic fees in CU. In above all colleges that I consider, high fees was a major challenge for us to maintain across all the semesters. So, finally I get admitted to Chandigarh University. Admission process requires CUCET / JEE mains score.
