Dissatisfied because of the department, but really good infrastructure and facilities, etc.
Placements: I haven't seen any placements in History of Art yet. It is an average subject. There are no provisions for placement in the subject History of Art. No top recruiting companies for my course. As far as I know, only 10% of the students did internships in the History of Art field. The top role offered in the History of Art course is assistant professor.
Infrastructure: The Faculty of History of Art is quite good. There are fewer seats in the hostels, but the mess here is quite good and affordable. The Wi-Fi facility in the department is quite good, not only in the department but also in the entire college campus. There is also a computer lab here, and the faculty members are quite good. There is a very big library in the college called the central library, but along with the central library, the department also has its own library, which is in the department itself. The facilities of the hostel are quite good and excellent, but there are fewer seats in the hostel, making it a bit difficult for anyone to get a hostel. The quality of food in the hostel mess is good, and cooks pay great attention to cleanliness. Every faculty has its own canteen, where food is available at a very affordable price. Medical facilities are provided to the students quite well. There is a health center in the university where students can come and get treatment for any illness. Apart from this, BHU students can avail privileges at Shyam Under Hospital by using their student ID card. In addition, the university provides facilities for sports, gym, games, NCC, NSS, etc.
Faculty: The teachers of History of Art are very knowledgeable and experienced, and their teaching skills are also very unique. The professors are quite supportive. Yes, this course curriculum is relevant. A semester system is followed for exams in the university. If your course is of 2 years, then you will have to give 4 semesters for it. The semester exam is not difficult. The passing percentage in History of Art is 80-90%.
Other: The best thing about my course is that it gives you detailed information about the art of not only India but also abroad, about their origin and expansion. This helps us understand art and civilization's thought easily. There is a need for improvement in placement in this course and for giving some knowledge to students about the scope in this field. Many events and cultural programs keep happening on the campus. The campus has very good connectivity to the market, hospital, and station.
