Check admissions with the institution itself
Admission dates, fees, programmes and recognition can change. Check each institution's current admission page before you apply. A land allotment, a construction announcement or an intake target does not prove that a programme is taking students.
Check the distance from your plot
The campuses are spread across different parts of the capital region. Check the actual route from a plot to Inavolu, Neerukonda, Kuragallu or Sakhamuru, instead of assuming every campus is next door to every plot. The village directory gives the local picture.
