The verdict
Good fit
If you want an affordable, NAAC 'A' grade B.Com from a NIRF-ranked institution with a decent placement record in IT and banking, this is a solid pick. The 65% placement rate and ₹3.2 LPA average are respectable for the fee point, but if you are targeting top-tier finance or consulting salaries right out of college, plan on upskilling separately.
