info

Tiny batch size: 15 seats only

With just 15 students per batch, expect tight peer circles and solid professor access. But it also means admission is purely merit-based and competitive.

The verdict

Good fit

If you live for lit theory, research, and academia-adjacent careers, this is a steal—NAAC ‘A’, ₹36k total fees, and a research-heavy curriculum. Just don’t expect a fat corporate pay-check: 45% placement with modest CTCs means this is a passion-first degree, not a salary-maximizing one.
