No Hostel, But Scholarships Exist
MAC doesn't offer hostel accommodation, so you'll need to sort PGs or commute within Delhi. On the bright side, the college does have scholarship provisions to support eligible students financially.
The verdict
Worth considering
If you've got the 95% boards score and want a super affordable DU English degree, MAC is a solid contender. But go in eyes-open: no hostel, a 60% placement rate, and an average CTC of ₹4.5L means you'll need to hustle independently for internships and upskilling. Great for self-driven Delhiites; less ideal if you need campus residency or a guaranteed high-starting package.
