The verdict
Worth considering
A budget-friendly, accredited MCA from a NAAC A++ university with consistent service-sector IT placements. It's a solid pick if you're a Tamil Nadu resident looking for a low-debt post-grad route into TCS/Infosys via TANCET. Think twice if you're chasing ₹10+ LPA product roles or heavy research exposure.
