Admission:

The whole application process was online. A student who has passed higher secondary(10+2) from a recognized board with a minimum number of 75% in Biology is eligible for this course that I am currently enrolled in. I found the application form online from the official website of the University. I paid a total amount of Rs.5675/- for one year to get enrolled in the course. The whole application was smooth but I think the authority needs to improve the payments system in the website, cause my payment was declined quite a few times.
