Should you pick BA Communicative English at SFS College?
This course suits students who want English, media and workplace communication with a merit-based admission route.
Pick it if:
You have a steady Class 12 score: admission is on merit, so apply early and keep all original papers ready.
You want communication roles: the college trains UG students in language, interviews, resumes and industry talks every year.
Your family wants hostel options: boys stay near campus and girls have nearby hostel choices with monthly charges.
You want lower fees: the full course fee is INR 1.65 Lakhs, so a small loan is easier to manage.
Skip it if:
You need a published BA salary: the college lists recruiter support, but it does not publish course-wise pay.
You want only journalism jobs: the course is English-led, so media is one path, not the whole course.
You need hostel food included for boys: Mermier Hostel rent excludes food, so check the monthly cost before joining.
You may miss document day: incomplete applications are not taken, so keep Class 10 and Class 12 originals ready.
Counsellor's advice
Take this course if you want English, media and communication roles at a low fee. If you need a fixed salary number, ask the placement cell first.
