very less course fee with all desirable facilities.
Placements: Only 18 students opted for History of Art in B.A. Final year, which was around 2.5% of total students admitted in my batch 2021. No such offer for undergraduate course. No recruiting companies for my course while I am studying. No one got internship from my course in my batch. .
Infrastructure: There is 24*7 Wi-Fi available. There is no such lab for undergraduate students, but Bharat Kala Bhavan is used by us as a lab. Classrooms are fully furnished with all desirable facilities. There are many libraries for students such as Central Library, Cyber Library, UG Library, and each department has a separate library.
Faculty: All the teachers are very helpful and knowledgeable and teaching quality is awesome, the curriculum is relevant. The semester exam is not too difficult, but sometimes it is challenging, almost 80-90% of students pass the semester exam.
Other: I chose this course because I come from an art background, and history is one of my favorite subjects. The best thing about this course is that we can go through history once again, exploring events that happened thousands of years ago, i hope to get a placement as an undergraduate student, events and fests are often organized by the department or faculty. The campus crowd is somewhat high in the evening, and the surroundings are very natural and friendly. Very few undergraduate students receive direct scholarships, but some other initiatives like Earn While You Learn also work for students. Extracurricular activities are held on special occasions.
