The verdict

Worth considering

A budget-friendly, heritage university MCA with decent NAAC credentials and mass-recruiter ties. It works best if you want a low-fee Chennai option and are ready to crack TANCET. Since data confidence is moderate, double-check the latest lab infrastructure and faculty access before you commit.
