Founded in the year 1970, Guru Ghasidas Vishwavidyalaya (GGV) is a prestigious Central University that was established under the Central Universities Act 2009 by the Parliament.

Since I have completed my B. Tech from Guru Ghasidas University, I am familiar with the admission procedure for the B. Tech program. However, it is important to note that there are more than 60 courses for which students can seek admission through NTA CUET.

JoSSA Counselling: Choosing CSE as a branch

After much consideration and research, I made the decision to choose the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) branch at Guru Ghasidas Vishwavidyalaya during the counseling process.
