The verdict
Good fit
If you want a ridiculously affordable economics degree from a heritage NAAC A++ college that actually teaches data tools like R & Stata, this is a hidden gem. The recruiter mix (Federal Bank, South Indian Bank, Govt departments, NGOs) is perfect if you’re eyeing banking exams, Kerala PSC, or a low-cost launchpad into policy/research masters. Just know the ₹2.8 LPA average and modest corporate exposure make it less ideal if you’re chasing a fat private-sector package right after graduation.
