First of all mainly because of the location it is situated. It is in the Captial Region. I got some seats in NIT-R but didn't go because the seats that i got is all 5 year course and i don't want to study for longer period of time. So the admission process is quite simple. You have to secure a goord rank either in JEE mains or OJEE examinations then apply for the desired branch of this college OJEE website.
