The verdict

Good fit

This is a genuinely budget-friendly, NAAC A-accredited M.Sc. with a future-facing syllabus (AI/ML, Cloud, Cybersecurity). The trade-off? Placement support is moderate—about half the batch gets placed with starter IT salaries. Best for self-starters who plan to hustle outside the classroom, build portfolios, and use the low fee structure to stay financially flexible.
