Campus Placement Reality Check
Only 35% of the 2025 batch was placed through campus drives, with an average CTC of ₹4.2 LPA. Most graduates pivot to M.Sc. entrances, off-campus pharma QC roles, or government exam prep—so build your Plan B from Day 1.
The verdict
Worth considering
A solid, budget-friendly B.Sc. from a reputable DU college with strong NAAC credentials, but campus placement support is limited and there's no hostel. Best treated as a launchpad for M.Sc. or off-campus science careers rather than a direct-job guarantee program.
