Mess Fee	₹2,500-3,500	₹30,000-42,000

JU's B.E. total fee of ₹40,000-49,000 (4 years) against an average placement of ₹12.50 LPA creates India's highest engineering education ROI - 255-312× fee recovery in the first year itself. Even including hostel and living costs (~₹3.5 Lakh over 4 years), the ROI remains 35-40×. For WBJEE top-rankers, JU CSE/IT is the clear best choice after IIT Kharagpur.
