How to Apply
Admission here hinges on Mahatma Gandhi University's Centralized Allotment Process (CAP) alongside a dedicated management quota seat allocation. The college publishes a distinct merit list for both streams based strictly on your 10+2 marks. To secure a spot under the general category, you must select Mater Dei CMI College as an option during the MG CAP registration process and monitor the official allotment cutoffs closely.
Once your name appears on the university's allotment list or the college’s management merit list, you must visit the Enathu campus in person to submit your original academic certificates, including your transfer and conduct certificates. Your admission is finalized only after the college verification team checks your documents against the MG University registry and you pay the first semester tuition fee.
