i applied for colleges from mumbai, pune, and nagpur along with miraj. main reason for these cities was that these are big cities. miraj is near a big city that is Sangli. i was not allorted any college from pune, mumbai or nagpur because i couldn't clear the cutoff marks required in NEET for those colleges. so i was allorted GMC Miraj. but i am glad i got a well reputed college. admission process is very simple. you have to arrange and submit the documents along with the admission form in the college. these documents are verified in front of you then and there within a few minutes and your admission is done.
