Admission:

At RBU I have applied to paint but I got a chance in the government college of art and craft and I thought that it was the best college from RBU that's why I am not attending RBU. I am belonging as an sc candidate. The admission criteria were the first step was the form fill up with all details like 12th marks, 10th marks and family details, quota details etc. After that, the college was sent a mail for admission test and I was attending that and got chance after that clg call for viva test and I was selected for admission in 2019 and submit the fees and start first sem and after now also I am continuing the course. And admission process has rules for all candidates getting a chance for admission just 2 years after HS bt category like sc, st, obc get relaxation for 2 yrs extra also. So the age limit was 19-22 In that time who can eligible for that year. And counselling day the teachers take a small interview with test like in 2 minute figure drawing etc and checking the documents and gave a selection list.
