I have written rdt set and qualified in it and I got seat in Sri Chaitanya But I rejected that because it is only upto intermediate and preferred this college because this is a 6-year integrated b-tech course. I haven't got any rejection from any colleges. Coming to the admission process of our college, it's based on 10th CGPA and they conduct rgukt-set examination. After qualifying in that exam, based on your performance you will be eligible to get a seat in this college. Only 1000 people can be selected every year to this university.
