The verdict
Worth considering
If you are passionate about photonics, lasers, and optical instrumentation and want a highly affordable degree from a historic university (NIRF top 20), this is a rare find. However, the placement rate is modest (55%), the recruiter pool is narrow, and public data is limited. Ideal for students aiming for research, DRDO, or higher studies rather than high-paying corporate IT roles.
