Bharathidasan University Online ranks higher and costs ₹85,000 less, so on the published figures it wins both ways.
We publish no composite score, because a single number hides the decision you actually have to make. Weigh the fee, the rank and the placement record against your own budget and timeline.
A composite score hides the trade-off you actually have to make. We show the fee, the rank and the placement record separately, mark the better figure on each row, and let you weigh them yourself.
Fees come from published university schedules, rankings from NIRF, entitlement from the UGC-DEB list, and salary figures from alumni who reported them to us. Each university page carries the date its data was last checked.
