No On-Campus Hostel
The campus doesn't provide hostel accommodation. Since you're in Mumbai, you'll need to sort out private PGs or rentals near the college, which can add significantly to your monthly budget despite the low tuition fees.
The verdict
Worth considering
If you're set on pharma R&D, academia, or CSIR/ICMR labs, this PhD is super affordable at ₹1.5L total and carries a solid NIRF #97 tag. The 2025 batch saw 85% placements with an average ₹6 LPA, and scholarships are available too. But it's a 6-year grind with no hostel in expensive Mumbai, and public data transparency is limited (confidence score 40). Only go if you have a clear research roadmap and local stay figured out.
