How to choose between them
- Check the affiliating university and approvals before the fee. A degree's value follows the body that awards it.
- Treat a published fee as the tuition floor. Hostel, exam and one-time charges are usually quoted separately.
- Ask what the placement figure counts. A "highest package" is one student; a median is the useful number, and few colleges publish it.
- Confirm the entrance exam and its dates directly with the college — cycles shift, and a missed form is a lost year.
- Visit if you can. Labs, library and travel time decide three years of your life more than a rank does.
