The verdict
Worth considering
SVU is a no-frills value pick. If you want an accredited civil degree without drowning in debt, this hits different. But go in with open eyes: placements are moderate, core roles are competitive, and the real ROI often comes from GATE or government exams after graduation. Best for self-starters who care more about strong fundamentals than flashy Day-1 offers.
