Real Talk on Placements
Only 30% of the 2025 batch reported campus placements, averaging ₹3 LPA. Recruiters span banking, CA firms, and teaching roles. If you’re dreaming of a high-ticket corporate package, you’ll need to hustle off-campus. This degree shines brighter as a low-cost credential for CA/CS prep, government exams, or lectureship eligibility.
The verdict
Worth considering
This is a super affordable, UGC-recognized M.Com from a government university. It’s a solid pick if you want a low-risk PG degree for NET/SET prep, CA articleship leverage, or government exam eligibility. However, modest campus placements and a NAAC 'B' grade mean you should skip it if you’re chasing premium brand value or guaranteed high packages.
