Admission :
The admission was done through JOSAA counseling. I got around 41K rank to secure a place in the first round for this course with the home-state quota. In the counseling process, we got around a week to fill out our choices for degrees in different colleges. Then 2 mock rounds happened to know the chances of us getting the desired branch in the college. Then the main counseling happened. The cutoff for this branch was around 50k crl rank.
