    After completing B.A. English (Hons), students can opt for careers in media & advertising, writing & publishing, journalism, public relations, content writing & blogging, creative writing, teaching, and academia, etc.
  • There are many academic courses like M.A. M.Phil and Ph.D. which you can pursue if you want to go for research work or wants to be a professor. If you want to work directly after B.A. Then you can succeed in business, management and finance, government service, library work, marketing and advertising.
