What we could and couldn't verify
SMU's own page shows '100% placement assistance' and '35,000+ learners offered placement assistance' — these are aggregate figures across all Online Manipal programs, not MA-English-specific, and shouldn't be read as this program's own outcome data. No program-specific placement percentage or salary figure was found, and no entry-to-senior progression narrative exists on the official page.
