Admission:

This university provides a platform for holistic development unlike most of the colleges that either focus solely on academics or personal development. Also one of the main reasons of why I chose this college is the fees structure. The fees of this college is very reasonable as compared to other esteemed college that are at par with it. I got selected in Manipal University, Bengaluru and Narsi Monjee, Mumbai but the fees of TAPMI and NMIMS was too high for me.
