The verdict
Strong fit
If you scored 99% in Class 12 and care deeply about power, policy and people, this is your arena. For under ₹62K total fees, you get a NAAC A++ campus, a 70% placement rate into India's top think tanks like CPR and ORF, and a direct pipeline to law or civil services. The cutoff is brutal, but so is the payoff.
