★For parents
A clear plan for your child’s admission
Cost, safety, recognition and outcomes, explained plainly. And a counsellor who calls at a time that suits you.
The real cost
Tuition is only part of it. Add one-time charges, deposits, hostel, mess, books and travel for every year.
Calculate true cost →Return on investment
Compare the total cost with the college’s median or average package, not the highest one.
Check ROI & EMI →Hostel & safety
Ask about separate girls’ hostels, wardens, CCTV, curfew, medical support and anti-ragging cells.
Colleges with hostels →Recognition
Check AICTE approval, UGC status, university affiliation and NAAC grade. Every DCA profile links to the source.
NAAC-accredited colleges →5 questions to ask any college
- What is the fee for every year, and what one-time charges are not included?
- Is the placement figure the median or the average, and for which batch?
- How many students were eligible, and how many were placed?
- Which scholarships apply, and what is needed to keep them in later years?
- What is the refund policy if we withdraw?
Red flags
- Anyone who “guarantees” a seat or a package
- Requests for cash, or payment without an official college receipt
- Pressure to pay today to “hold” a seat
- Only the highest package quoted, with no median or batch year
