See environment is good for research. I guess from placement's perspective , it may not be a good option. In India , it has a restricted scope. For example , you will not be eligible for IES. Also in DU colleges ( if you are planning for lectureship ) it will not be of any great help. So it's more about RnD. But yes , at the end of the day , everything depends upon your interest. So you planning to attend the counselling ? Btw any idea , last year upto which score general was available ?
