Plan Beyond Campus Placement
Only 20% of the 2025 batch reported placements, mainly in teaching and publishing. This degree is best treated as a stepping stone to NET/SET, a PhD, or school teaching rather than a direct corporate paycheck.
The verdict
Worth considering
It’s one of the most affordable M.A. English programs from a government institution with credible accreditation (NAAC A). Choose it if you want a low-debt route into academia, civil services prep, or school teaching. Skip it if you need strong campus placement or a high corporate starting salary right after graduation.
