Placement Reality Check
In 2025, only 35% of students secured campus placements with an average package of ₹2.8 LPA. If you're eyeing corporate roles, plan to upskill or pursue PG programs like MA English, Journalism, or MBA.
The verdict
Worth considering
CMS College Kottayam offers a ridiculously affordable, reputable 3-year BA English program backed by NAAC 'A' accreditation. It's perfect if you want a low-cost, merit-based entry into humanities with hostel and scholarship support. But the 35% placement rate and modest ₹2.8 LPA average CTC mean it's not a direct highway to high-paying corporate jobs. Best suited if you're prepping for civil services, higher studies, teaching, or media careers where you build your own path.
