I first downloaded their online application and sent it to them after filling in all the details along with the necessary documents that were asked for. Then we had an entrance exam on 8th May 2016 for which we had to be present in Hyderabad. the exam was divided into three rounds. The first round was a written exam that tested our knowledge in science, maths, General knowledge, service sector, and English. the next round was the group discussion where we were divided into groups of 10 or 15, we were given a topic and we had to speak for or against the topic. the next round was the personal interview with Chef Sudhakar N Rao and Mr. Bomi Patel.

the college has carefully chosen faculty who are the best in their field and undoubtedly give their students the best knowledge, practical hands-on skills, and train and hone the students in a way that they are prepared to strive well in the industry and do wonders.
