The verdict
Good fit
If you want an affordable, research-driven UG degree from a legacy Delhi college — and you care about health, communities, or sustainable design — this is a smart pick. Placements are decent (65%), but the real win is the low fee and interdisciplinary flexibility. Skip it if you are chasing a tech/engineering salary or want a purely corporate pipeline.
