Premium Accreditation, Budget Price Tag
An A++ NAAC score with a 3.61 CGPA—at a total fee of just ₹80,000—makes this one of the most accessible biotech master's programs in Tamil Nadu.
The verdict
Worth considering
The A++ NAAC rating and ₹80,000 total fee make this a steal for research-minded students, but the 50% placement rate and an average CTC of ₹3 LPA mean it’s not a fast track to a high corporate salary. Treat it as a launchpad for a PhD, CSIR labs, or government research roles rather than a direct industry premium ticket.
