A list of special seats is provided in the Prospectus which will be available online by clicking on Prospectus. However, the special seat category keeps changing, often from year to year, and there is a general tendency to do away with all special seats, leaving admission strictly on merit basis. It is advisable to enquire about the current special seat status at the time of application for admission, to get the latest information on this topic.
There are four hostels for boys and one hostel for girls. The total accommodation is for over 1,200 students, so there is usually no shortage of hostelling facilities or rooms. It is desired, however, that students apply early for rooms, as the applications are processed on a first-come-first-served basis, and some preference may be given regarding the type of room requested, to early applicants. Late applicants have to settle for whatever rooms are then available.
The Girls Hostel has complete privacy and all normal rules of conduct applicable to girls in an Islamic country are applicable. Additional 100 rooms have been recently added to Girls' Hostel.
There are excellent messing, laundry, utility store, postal and public call office (PCO) facilities available for the hostellers. Indoor and outdoor sports facilities and TV lounges are provided to the students in their hostels.

The college session normally starts in October/November every year and continues to September next year. The academic courses are usually completed by end of September. After it is a period of revision classes and/or preparatory leave for examinations. Examinations are held in October. There is 2 month of winter vacation in January and February, with a shorter vacation period of less than 1 month in summer in July. As per policy to shorten the vacation period to avoid undue delay in course completion and prolongation of the session, the vacation schedule may change without any notice posted here.
By late July, the College Prospectus is printed, and applications for admission are invited in 2 week time. The Entrance Test is held usually in July and the result is declared overnight.
According to Director AA & QA, KMU, the Entrance Test for the next admission will be held on Sunday, the 15th July 2012.
The AMC merit list is posted after a week of the closing dates for admission applications. Candidates have to undergo an interview soon afterwards, usually around mid-September, and the successful candidates are then admitted to the college. Admissions continue from September through October.
