The MSc placements at the Central University of Kerala seem to be promising. Most of the students got placed with very good salary packages, and the university has a distinct placement cell that offers placements and internship opportunities to students. The median package offered to PG (2-year) students during the 2022 placements was INR 4.80 LPA, and the highest salary package offered was 10 LPA. The placement statistics for the academic years show a good number of students placed and a decent median salary offered. The university also conducts job fairs and trains and grooms students for their professional careers.

Comparing the affordability of studying MSc at CU Kerala and JNU, CU Kerala seems to be a slightly more affordable option. CU Kerala's fees for MSc courses are around INR 4,700, whereas the MSc fees at JNU vary from INR 432 to INR 5,800. Thus, JNU tends to offer a cheaper alternative for MSc studies, particularly if the lower end of its fee structure is considered. However, the mentioned fee is taken from the official website/sanctioning body. It is still subject to change and, hence, is indicative.
