Pocket-Friendly Arts Education

The entire degree costs less than a mid-tier laptop. Add hostel + scholarships to the mix, and you’ve got a genuinely accessible arts education.

The verdict

Worth considering

This is a budget legend move. You get a 3-year NAAC ‘A’ English Lit degree for under ₹60K total, with hostel and scholarship backup. The trade-off? Placements are modest (40% hired, avg ~₹2.8 LPA), mostly into content, BPO, and teaching roles. Best for self-starters who plan to upskill in digital comms, editing, or crack NET/SET later. Skip if you’re expecting a fat corporate package on day one.
