Heads Up: Limited Seats & Sparse Data
Only 25 students make the cut each year via DUET, but hostel and scholarship support are available. Public data is limited (confidence score: 40/100), so double-check the latest syllabus and fees on the official website before applying.
The verdict
Good fit
St. Stephen's offers a prestigious, affordable M.A. English (₹90k total) with hostel and scholarship support. The 25-seat batch is tiny and DUET is the only gateway, but the NIRF #3 pedigree and a 70% placement track into publishing, media, and academia make it compelling for lit enthusiasts.
