Average CTC (2025 Batch)
Solid for a humanities track, with grads entering content strategy, editorial, academia, media and development sectors.
Hostel + Scholarships = Sorted
LSR offers on-campus hostel accommodation and scholarships. For outstation students, that’s a massive win in Delhi’s chaotic (and expensive) rental market.
The verdict
Strong fit
If you’re drawn to literature, research, media or cultural work, LSR’s M.A. English is a no-brainer: top-10 NIRF ranking, A++ NAAC grade, DU’s legacy network, and fees lower than most undergrad private colleges. A 70% placement rate with recruiters across publishing, content, education and NGOs keeps career pathways wide open. Only reconsider if you want a tech/quant trajectory, co-ed campus life, or heavily published corporate salary benchmarks.
