The verdict
Good fit
If you want elite chemistry training without student-debt trauma, RKMVCC is a steal. NIRF #3 pedigree, NAAC A++, and a ₹50k total fee are unbeatable. The 40% placement rate includes research roles at CSIR labs that don’t always show up in CTC headlines, so corporate salary chasers should keep expectations real.
