The verdict
Good fit
Thiagarajar College is an academic heavyweight for humanities—NIRF #15 and NAAC A++ back that up. At just ₹36k total fees, it’s a steal if you’re eyeing teaching, research, content, or civil-services prep. Just remember campus placement is selective (45%) and average packages sit around ₹3 LPA, so you’ll need to hustle beyond the syllabus for high-growth corporate roles.
