The best college for M.A. in Social Work (Children & Families) Course.

Placements: 95% of students were placed; few chose to do additional courses and explore their speed. Rs 30,000-RRs 60,000, depending on the skills learned and the strong CV one can build. Our alumni have been in CRY, SOS villages, UNICEF-related projects, and various CSR-related organizations. Project Manager, Assistant Project Manager, Coordinator, Field Worker, Child and Family Counselor, Legal Advise, etc. are the top roles offered. 25k is the lowest, and 55 or 65k will be the highest package depending on the resume.

I miss my university days because of the support of our teachers, whose lectures were the best and always aimed at our development. All the teachers are highly educated and masters of their subjects. Exams are taken semester by semester, and the pass percentage is 65% for written exams and internships.
