The verdict

Good fit

MSSW is a solid launchpad if you care more about community impact than corporate climbing. The 75% placement rate into respected NGOs is promising, but the ₹2.4L total fee needs to be weighed against entry-level development-sector salaries. Best suited for the purpose-driven student who wants Chennai roots and grassroots credibility.
