Eligibility
Admission to the Honours mathematics degree at Marian College Kuttikanam is for students who have passed the higher secondary examination, Class 12, with mathematics as a subject; a science combination is the usual route, and commerce students who studied mathematics are often eligible as well. Places are generally offered on the marks scored in mathematics and in the qualifying examination as a whole, through a rank list the college publishes, with the reservation categories notified in Kerala applied to the seats they cover. The minimum marks demanded and the level at which the list closes are settled separately in each admission cycle, so the college notification is what an applicant should go by.
