Dislikes

The less addon course or certification or competition availability

1.Detailed fees structure per year is divided into two semesters(under CBCS): Around 8 thousands/year 2.We don't have any special margin in fees accommodation but some of the students belong to EWC they got their tution fee which's aroung 1000 free. Although including all the lab fees-869,college fest tickets(included)-197 for everyone 3.All the students who has a valid family income certificate not more than 2 lpa (government employees are not eligible) and secure 60% each semester, after completion of the whole year( without any backlog) can get a 18k scholarship by state government VMCMS. Also if someone secure yearly 90% or 9 sgpa they can avail national scholarship of 1 lakh( if their subjects are mention as per my subject physiology is not mentioned but statistics like subjects are)
