B.A.(Hons.) in History - Batch of 2024

4.6

The college provided good facilities, and faculty of the history department was very helpful.

Placements: I was from the history department, and it didn't give any placements. But other departments like Biology, Bachelor of Business, Journalism, Communication, etc., give placements. That's why I didn't know the packages. The college should have provided placements for the history department as well.

Infrastructure: The total admission fee for the History department in 2021 was Rs.26,000. There were 400 classes and labs, 2 libraries, a games room, a gym room, etc. Many clubs were formed in the college, which were very helpful in students' personality development. The food quality of both canteens was good.

Faculty: Professors were Ph.D. qualified and had a full of knowledge. Some of the semester exams were quite difficult, but not all the time. The passing marks out of 100 were 33. Any student who was caught cheating during the exam got expelled from the college.

Other: I chose this course because I had an interest in history. Due to the coronavirus, the college didn't celebrate fests. I get the Ekalyan scholarship. Many extracurricular activities were held in college, like sports day, cosplay, ropewalk, fancy dress competitions, etc.

Our college has better infrastructure, faculty members and facilities.

Placements: As is the scenario nationwide, arts students don't get placements from the college except for a few 5-6 of them being selected by NGOs, private sector banks, and localised recruiters. Students choosing B.A. in History prepare for highly prestigious UPSC JPSC and BPSC and many other reputed government jobs.

Infrastructure: Our department is well-equipped with several important books by famous writers and various maps to supplement students. The classrooms are quite big, spacious, and comfortable with modern equipment like projectors for an enhanced teaching experience. The college has a high-speed internet connection that serves the requirement of the students. The central library in the college has a large collection of books, magazines, journals, and articles that renders a great help to students and also the central library has a well clean and maintained reading area with tables and chairs with the comfort of air-conditioning. Coming to mess food, it is quite good as the mess has hired quality staff in handling the processing of food. The college has three very good and well-maintained canteens, Green chilly, which is new to the campus and has a decent menu serving quite delicious meals especially the Samosas and Manchurian are worth enjoying here. The canteen has an RO water system with a water chiller and very well arranged sitting areas for students and faculty members separately. The second one is situated near the intermediate section which is next to the basketball court. This one is also pretty good sandwiches served here are quite tasty and other meals are also worth trying. The third one is near the main gate of St Xavier's College and this one is for snacks, cold drinks, and many other packed food items. College has a well maintained and big ground which serves as more centre to accommodate various sports around the year, cricket matches, football, and hockey matches are worth watching and all the departments of the college participate in these well-organised sporting events that demonstrate the diversity and cultural aspects of St Xavier's Ranchi. College has a multi-facility, modern, and well-equipped gymnasium that serves students, faculty members and staff of the college.

Faculty: Our department professors are excellent and highly qualified. Many of them are postgraduates and Ph.D. holders from JNU. They help students in the classes and even after the classes. The course curriculum was in sync with the other reputed universities and also promoted the local tribal history which I think is quite rich. The course was curated to make students ready for various job opportunities and informative. The questions in the semester exams are decent and generated inquiry upon the information and knowledge of the students in a subtle way.

Other: St Xavier's College, Ranchi overall changed my perspective and analytical abilities to a great level. The campus vibes are majestic and also the college is situated in the heart of the capital city of Jharkhand and is well connected by autos and taxis to the other parts of the state. There are also numerous scholarship programs for meticulous students and for poor students belonging to SC/ST and OBC communities.
