M.A in English - Batch of 2025

4.0

Apeejay College of Fine Arts in M.A. English course intake year 2026-27.

Placements: Approximately 65% of students are placed. The lowest package is 2.5 LPA, the highest is 7 LPA, and the average is about 4.5 LPA. Media companies, schools, and publishing houses are among the recruiters. Internships are available in teaching and content writing positions. Limited corporate roles continue to be a disadvantage.

Infrastructure: It has extensive collections of books, digital resources, and classrooms equipped with Wi-Fi. The library is strong. The food is decent but not very varied. The hostel is decent. There are sports and medical facilities available, but the hostel could use some cleaning.

Faculty: Professors are very knowledgeable, helpful, and supportive of research. The curriculum has been updated to include classics, contemporary literature, and linguistics, making it current. Exams are moderate. Pass rate is about 90%. A few critical theory papers seemed a little out of date.

M.A. in Psychology - Batch of 2024

4.8

My best part of my life started in college.

Placements: In the M.A. Psychology course at KMV, placements depend a lot on individual skills and interest areas. While core psychology roles may not provide mass placements like technical fields. Many students did get opportunities in counseling, teaching, or internships at mental health centers. A few also prepared for competitive exams or went for higher studies like M.Phil or Ph.D. Internships were usually available in hospitals, NGOs, or with psychologists, which helped in building practical knowledge.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of KMV was quite good. Classrooms were well-organized and had a calm atmosphere for studying. Campus had strong Wi-Fi connectivity. The library was peaceful with a wide collection of psychology books and research materials. The environment was clean and disciplined. The mess food was vegetarian but hygienic and better than many other colleges. College also provided a safe and comfortable space for female students.

Faculty: Faculty members in the psychology department were well-qualified and very supportive. They explained everything from the basics, and were always open to solving doubts. The curriculum was updated and included all the necessary subjects like clinical psychology, research methods, counseling, and practical applications. Classes were interactive, and students also got to work on case studies and projects. Exams were manageable if you were regular with studies passing was not tough, but to score high marks, consistent preparation was needed.

M.A. in Economics - Batch of 2024

5.0

My honest review of my college.

Placements: Placements of the college are average. All the placements of individual courses are conducted like commerce, fashion designing, computer science, etc. The faculty who arrange the placement drive are supportive and commendably amazing encourage us to take part in drives and encourage us to get selected.

Infrastructure: The course is no doubt world-class and competitive to any international school. The hostel of my college is good. The hostel is clean. All the rooms are well-furnished. Hostels are the USP of my college. Freshers and farewells are organized in the hostel for the enjoyment of the boarders as well. The school even has internationally renowned visiting faculty who train us on the most recent research topics. Courses like environment, development economics, game theory, and industrial economics are some of the value-added subjects along with the specialization in econometrics give a competitive advantage to students.

Faculty: The course has become immensely competitive recently. But despite this, the experience is very enriching and satisfying, studying with the best faculty and with the brightest students. If one loves economics and has a penchant for logic, then DSE is the place to be. All the faculty of the college is good, experienced, and polite. There are seven lectures in my course taken by different teachers. Various outside teachers also take our classes to provide us with overall personality traits knowledge. All the faculty members are helpful and cooperative.
