Heads up: sparse placement data
The program has a low data-confidence score (40%). The 40% placement rate and ₹3 lakh average CTC likely undercount graduates who move into PhDs, teaching, or unlisted research roles. Treat the stats as a baseline, not the full story.
The verdict
Good fit
If you want an affordable, research-heavy M.Sc. from a heritage Kerala college with paths to ISRO, DRDO, or academia, this hits different. The tiny batch means real access to profs. But if you’re chasing high private-sector salaries or a guaranteed placement net, this probably isn’t your vibe.
