What is B.A. English (Self-Finance)?
The Self-Finance B.A. English programme covers the same Periyar University-mandated curriculum as the Aided version — English literature (British, American, Indian, World), language, linguistics, and communication — with the flexibility for the department to add additional electives like Digital Journalism, Creative Writing, English for Employability, and AI for Content Writing. Self-Finance fees are fixed (₹24,500/year MQ) and seats are easier to secure compared to the highly-competitive aided programme.
Why Self-Finance instead of Aided?
Guaranteed access — aided seats fill quickly due to low fees; SF gives reliable admission
Updated electives — Digital Journalism, Content Writing, AI for English, Social Media Communication
Same degree certificate — Periyar University B.A. English, recognised equally by all employers and exam boards
Still affordable — ₹24,500/year is among the lowest SF fees in Tamil Nadu
