Admission:

I applied at Nari siksha Niketan and I also submitted the fees there as it was late for me to get admission but I haven't taken admission there but later I got to know that the college reviews are not that much good in comparision to mahila vidyalaya. So I choose Mahila vidyalaya later for my higher studies as it's reviews and feedbacks were so good. For taking admission in mahila vidyalaya the cut off goes to 80% for general student and these percentage are based on our 10th and 12th marksheet and according to the cutoffs the admission is taken.
