. You can apply here though joshaa or the university have their on campus admission process for around 50% students intake. . The student intake is less and people don't know much about the university so their are way less students from a normal btech college. . You can get easily admission here as many people doesn't know about the university and if you want to do engineering badly but you can't take admission anywhere it may be your last option i suggest.
