The verdict
Worth considering
This MBA is a solid steal if you want an affordable, NAAC ‘A’ management degree in North India and are targeting banking, insurance, or regional corporate roles. But with a 55% placement rate and average packages around ₹4.5 LPA, you’ll need to hustle beyond campus drives. Skip if you’re aiming for MBB consulting, bulge-bracket finance, or a premium Tier-1 brand tag.
