The answer to the second question first. Yes, it has a good name and it asks for money where one has to ask this question. As far as I have known the people who studied there and the image that this university has created, the amount (if you comfortably afford) is worth spending. This is also to be noted that this university has a name in Management education where they are providing some out of the box things. Haryana Government took them along in the ambitious Good Governance Associate project. You should try to join the university.

Students will be selected based on their potential for academic rigor and extra-curricular engagement. These include AAT Ashoka Aptitude Test or ACT (American College Testing) or SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) scores or 10+2 marks projects, and research, if applicable, as well as the disciplined and committed pursuit of varied interests and passions. Equally, the on-the-spot essay written at the time of the interview and the in-person interview with the panel, also contribute to the decision for admission. Thanks!
