Our college is not much good or not bad.
Placements: Our course is a humanities background course, but there is a system of placements. NGOs and some institutions visit here for placements. This year, from a strength of 70 students, about 5 students were placed. In those placements, some 30 to 35 students attended the examination, while 20 students were conducted with the interview.

There is special accommodation for different sports.
Faculty: Teachers here are highly qualified, helpful and knowledgeable. Their teaching quality is awesome. In our department, there is an alumnus of Cambridge, Fudan University, and some faculty members are also from JNU, Deccan College, BHU and other universities of India. The course curriculum of M.A History deals with world history, subaltern history, Asia's history, and neighbouring countries.
Other: I like history, so I chose this course. Through this course, we will be able to develop our thinking, mindset about what is going around us. It is a central university and is situated in Varanasi, which makes this university full of festivals and events.
