Historic college with low placements and poor facilities. It needs modernization.
Placements: Placements for BA history are almost non-existent at this college. Companies rarely visit for arts courses and students mostly need to prepare for higher studies like M.A, B.Ed or competitive exams. There is no structured career guidance or placement training. College is good for academics but in terms of direct job opportunities after graduation, it is disappointing.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is below average. While the campus is big and historic, most classrooms are old and not well-maintained. Library has a decent collection but lacks proper digital resources. Hostel facilities are very basic and the mess food is often unsatisfactory. Wi-Fi and modern facilities like smart classrooms are missing in most areas. Sports and extracurricular facilities also feel underdeveloped.
Faculty: Teachers are knowledgeable but many of them still rely on outdated teaching methods. Mostly lectures without much interaction. The curriculum is purely academic and does not give any industry exposure or practical knowledge. Exams are manageable but heavily theory-based. While the pass percentage is decent. The overall learning experience does not feel modern or career-oriented.
Other: I joined BA history program because of my interest in the subject. But the college has not provided a complete student experience. The campus lacks vibrant cultural activities and exposure programs compared to other colleges. There are limited seminars, workshops or guest lectures to inspire students. Connectivity to the college is fine. But the campus surroundings feel neglected. I wish there were more initiatives for extracurricular, student clubs and career building programs.

A reputed government college with quality education and affordable fees.
Placements: Since this is a government college, placements for B.A. history are limited. But the college provides good guidance for students who wish to go for higher studies like M.A, B.Ed, or UPSC/PSC exams. Many seniors prepare for government jobs with the help of faculty support and alumni network. College motivates students to build a career through academics and competitive exams rather than only campus placements.
Infrastructure: College has a large and historic campus with a peaceful environment. Library is well-stocked with good reference materials for history and other subjects. Classrooms are spacious. Hostel facilities are decent and affordable compared to private colleges. There are also playgrounds and basic sports facilities. While not ultra-modern, the infrastructure is sufficient for academic growth and provides a traditional learning atmosphere.
Faculty: Faculty members are experienced and highly supportive. Most of them are passionate about their subjects and encourage students to think critically. The curriculum is designed by the University of Calicut, and it is comprehensive for history studies. Exams are fair and focus on conceptual understanding. Teachers are approachable and help students not only in academics but also in career planning.
Other: Government Victoria College is one of the oldest and most reputed institutions in Palakkad with a rich heritage. Campus has a good academic atmosphere. Students get opportunities to participate in cultural activities, NSS, and arts festivals. It is a great place for those who are serious about studies and want a calm, academic-focused environment.
