English Spl

Yes, as a Mechanical Engineer pursuing an MA in English, you'll be treated like any other MA English student for placements and career opportunities. Your engineering background won't be a barrier—it could even be an advantage in areas like technical writing or roles requiring analytical skills.

For placements, companies will primarily assess your performance in the MA programme and your language skills. Typical career paths include content writing, editing, teaching, or public relations. If you're interested in roles like technical writing, your engineering knowledge might give you an edge.

Having expertise in both technical and literary fields makes you versatile, opening doors to unique opportunities in education, communication, or even creative roles in tech-driven industries. Focus on building strong language skills and showcasing your dual background during interviews.

The specific cut off scores can differ yearly. This is because so many factors determine the range. The number of applications submitted and their performance mainly dictates the cutoff scores.
