Step 1

They can choose from the list of colleges and courses they are eligible for.
Step 2: Verification

Later, the applicants will have to visit the respective college for their admission and document verification. Here are the documents required: 1- Print-out of form from the admission portal. 2- Class X certificate. 3- Class XII mark sheet. 4- SC/ST/OBC/EWS/CW/KM Certificate. 5- Three passport size photographs.
