Admission will be given to the students on the basis of merit. The officials of the institute say that this time in the final counseling also the students who got better marks in JEE (Joint Entrance Examination) Main have applied.
There are many students who have scored more than 80 percentile in JEE and have expressed their desire to take admission in the college.
Hostels also allotted on merit basis
The college also gives admission in its hostels on the basis of merit. A large number of applications had come due to the facility of accommodation of the students in the least amount in the institute. In this also merit list has been prepared and admission is given on the basis of marks.
To avoid any kind of conflicts and bias for allotment of hostels, the officials completed the process with transparency allowing everyone to be a part of the step-wise decision.
Regular classes to begin in December for all
Director of the institute Dr RK Saxena said that all the admission and hostel process has been completed.
“Now we are planning to call the students in regular classes from December. At present, only new students who have taken admission in the campus are being called,” Dr Saxena said.
Engineering provides a skill for life
“Engineering provides us skills for life, whether it is mechanical, civil or software,” Lina Sukhija, mother of a teenager, said. She added that skills can help a person for a lifetime.
“I want my son to become an engineer, because it would toughen him up and help him learn something for life,” Himanshu Sharma, a father, said.
