The placement reality check

Only 20% of the batch lands campus roles. Most grads pivot to B.Ed, NET/SET prep, freelance content, or PhD. If you’re coming here expecting a fat corporate package, this ain’t it. But if you want a rock-solid, low-cost foundation in literature, it hits different.

The verdict

Worth considering

This program is a steal for self-driven lit lovers, researchers, and academia-bound students. The ₹8K total fee and NAAC A tag are genuine wins, and the hostel plus scholarship options ease the load. But the 20% placement rate and modest salary data mean you need your own roadmap — think NET, PhD, civil services, or content portfolios. Skip if you need a guaranteed campus job or a high starting CTC.
