There are many small club vise events happening, which helps in organising, managing and balancing the academic works and extra curriculum.
They are giving equal amount of value towards the sports too, that too not only for the students but for the faculties too which is great way to build up the best interaction with them
When it comes to competition we work as a wholesome team to make our college win both academically and other curriculums.

Dislikes

If you give a bad impression to the faculties, it might affect your academics
Insulting attitude of some faculties might make you discouraged
Can't balance between your sleep and work

Admission:

I have opted for the nearby colleges. There were so many college nearby my place like Bishop Jerome Nagar , TKM PRVT and TKM GVNT. But i wanted to live atleast not in my native district. So i looked for colleges near by districts mostly located in the cities because i wanted to hangout once in while to eat , watch movies. I have applied for CET but it had only limited seats so i chose CAT which is more preferable based on my conditions and convenience. I have written the NATA exam and got passed and have taken the admission in CAT
