The verdict
Good fit
If you want an affordable, no-entrance-exam BA English from a reputed Kerala college, Mar Ivanios is a smart pick. The fee is a steal, the NAAC ‘A’ grade adds weight, and the curriculum spans classic lit to film studies. That said, expect to self-drive your career: placement stats are modest (₹2.8 LPA average) and the NIRF rank is under Commerce & Management, not Arts. Ideal for students who plan to hustle through internships, content gigs, or competitive exam prep alongside the degree.
