The verdict

Good fit

If you want a legit, affordable B.A Economics from an institution with serious academic pedigree (NIRF #13, NAAC A), this is a solid pick. But keep it real — verified placement stats aren’t on file, so you’ll need to self-drive internships, case competitions, and alumni networking.
