The verdict

Worth considering

At just ₹40k total, this M.A. is a steal if you thrive in small, women-only classrooms and care deeply about postcolonial and gender narratives. The NAAC ‘A’ grade adds credibility. But heads up: there are no public placement stats and our confidence in the data is moderate. Best to DM an alum or visit campus before you commit.
