Sunandan Divatia School of Science (SDSOS) is one of NMIMS University's private institutions. SDSOS Mumbai is an NAAC  B-accredited institution that provides undergraduate, graduate, and PhD programs in the study of science. The results of the university-level entrance exam are used to determine admission to the courses. SDSOS academic members are highly skilled and have extensive backgrounds in their respective professions. The campus is around 13 acres in size, and the environment is quite conducive to learning. In 2023, the placement rate will be about 65%.

Hello Nishar Ahmed, a very interesting query but I am afraid there are no clear cut answers or no clear cut conclusions. Firstly placements data of BSc courses of any college is very shaky and secondly analysis or conclusions based on very few placements will not actually reveal anything. SDSOS gives out data of placements and packages only for PG students. Some sources though give out figures of 5LPA or 7LPA as the highest package. But authentication is not feasible. Suffice to say that it needs to be taken with a pinch of salt. But all said and done, credentials of the NMIMS, the deemed to be university to which SDSOS is affiliated, are indeed impeccable and one needs not have any doubts whatsoever about the quality of staff and facilities provided to the students. 

My advice is to get admission without bothering about placements or packages at placements.

Best wishes to you.
