The verdict
Worth considering
This is one of the most affordable B.Sc Physics programs in Kerala with an NAAC 'A' rating, hostel facilities, and a forward-looking curriculum. Perfect if you're aiming for MSc, research, or teaching. However, the 35% placement rate and modest average salary mean it's not ideal if you need immediate, high-paying corporate employment straight out of graduation.
