The verdict
Good fit
If you want a rock-solid, affordable M.A. English from a government college with a tiny 20-seat cohort and serious research focus, this is a rare gem at ₹8K total fees. Just be real: campus placement is selective (~30%) and corporate packages start modest, so the real win is using this as a launchpad for PhDs, civil services, teaching, or indie content careers.
