Cheapest first. Total two-year programme fee excluding hostel; ROI is average placement ÷ total fee.

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 Delhi NCR, the strongest ratio in our data is DBE Delhi (Department of Business Economics University of Delhi): 15.1 LPA on a ₹1 L fee.
