How to judge value, not just price
A low fee only helps if the placement figure supports it. Divide average placement by total fee: above about 0.9 is healthy for this tier, and below 0.6 needs a good reason. Colleges with no published placement figure show “n/a” — treat that as unknown, not as zero.
In Ahmedabad, the strongest ratio in our data is BK School (B. K. School of Professional and Management Studies): 5.1 LPA on a ₹0.8 L fee.
