Compared to private B-schools in Kanpur and UP where MBA fees can range from Rs. 3 lakh to Rs. 10 lakh for 2 years, CSJMU offers significantly better value. The university's NAAC A++ accreditation and UGC Category-I status add credibility to the degree. The median placement package of 4 LPA is competitive for a state university, though private B-schools with industry tie-ups may offer higher median packages.
