Overall, best university for M.A. in ancient history and archaeology course.
Placements: Our university had an excellent placement rate, with over 71% of intelligent students being offered positions. The greatest package was 17 LPA, while the lowest was 3 LPA. Loan Simpson, ICF, and Chronicle Heritage were among the top recruitment agencies. Top jobs included curator and heritage manager, among others. Almost 67% of students find jobs.
Infrastructure: Hostels were average and offered a variety of accommodation types, single rooms without AC, single rooms without AC, condominiums without AC, and condominiums without AC. It depends on what you wanted, however, there was no Wi-Fi, and the rooms did not have attached bathrooms. The chaos was acceptable. The classrooms were good, and the infrastructure was solid.
Faculty: Not all professors were gorgeous, but some were. They know how to perform the part, but few were too proud to answer the questions. Obviously, it was non-attending, but I believe it was when you should know more. Course curriculum was simple to handle. The exam was offered every year, and you must get at least 70%, I believe the pass rate was 37%.
