Ans. Both are two year full time PG programmes affiliated to Andhra University with the same fee of ₹17,000. MA English covers British, Indian, and American literature, literary criticism, linguistics, and ELT. MA Social Work (MASW) involves social theory, community development, social policy, and supervised field work with real communities. Career paths differ significantly: MA English leads to education, journalism, and content roles; MASW graduates are eligible for NGO, government welfare, and social development positions.

The college also accepts direct applications based on qualifying degree marks when seats remain after AUCET-based admission. Appearing for AUCET improves selection chances, especially for competitive specializations.

Ans. The total tuition fee is ₹17,000 for two years (₹8,500 per year). Year-wise payment is made at the start of each academic year. Examination and library charges are payable to Andhra University each semester and are separate from this figure.

Ans. MA Social Work graduates are eligible for positions with NGOs, government welfare departments, community health organizations, and international development agencies. MASW is also a qualifying degree for social work officer and welfare inspector positions in state government departments. Some graduates pursue PhD in Social Work or MSW from central universities.

Ans. Generally, MA English requires English as a subject at the graduation level. A B.Com or B.Sc graduate who studied English Literature or English Language as an elective or ancillary subject may qualify. Candidates should confirm eligibility directly with AGL admissions, as the Andhra University norm requires English to have been a principal or ancillary subject in the qualifying degree.
