50% Placement Rate — Plan Accordingly
2025 data shows half the batch placed, with an average CTC of ₹3.0 LPA. Recruiters include PSU banks, ICICI, HDFC, Reliance and state-government roles. Great if you’re already networking; risky if you expect a guaranteed campus offer.
Hostel & Scholarships On Tap
On-campus hostel stay and scholarships are available. At ₹1.2L total fee, the financial downside is minimal—even if you later pivot to entrepreneurship or government exam prep.
The verdict
Worth considering
It’s a steal if you want an affordable, government-backed MBA in the North-East, but the 50% placement rate and modest average salary mean you must self-drive your career outcomes. Best for students who have a side-hustle, family business, or government-prep plan alongside the degree.
