The Real Tea on Arts Placements

At just ₹10k for the full program, you graduate debt-free. The 25% campus placement rate and ₹2 LPA average CTC mean you should have a Plan B: build teaching portfolios, content gigs, or government job applications alongside your degree.

The verdict

Worth considering

A budget-friendly, NAAC ‘A’ tagged MA from a state university. Ideal if you need a low-risk PG credential before teaching, public-sector exams, or a PhD pathway. Skip if you expect high campus salaries or guaranteed corporate placement—only a quarter of the batch is placed through campus.
