Real Talk: The Placement Scene
Campus placements sit at 15%, with roles mostly in media, publishing, teaching, and BPO. If you’re expecting a high-salary corporate offer, this isn’t that vibe. Success here means building a portfolio, freelancing, or prepping for government/NET exams on the side.
The verdict
Worth considering
This is a solid pick if you want an affordable humanities degree without the stress of entrance exams, and you’re self-driven enough to create your own career path. But if you’re chasing high campus placement rates or a premium starting package, you might want to explore other options.
