It has the best administration during Coronavirus periods.

Placements: The pass-out rate is 75 out of 100. There is no placement for literature students. However, publishing houses can intake brilliant students. Top roles like teachers, assistant professors, content writer, successful writer, editor, publisher, etc., are offered here

Infrastructure: Our department has about two classrooms, two lecture halls, a huge shared library in Gujarat University with other departments. The hostel has a good mess with appropriate food. The hostel has amenities like sharing beds and a table unit for studying. The first aid facility and emergency medication are available with the warden. There is a sports ground with basketball and badminton courts.

Faculty: Teachers in our department are extremely helpful, qualified, and intellectual. Their teaching quality is understandable and adherent to the course. The course curriculum is relevant for students who want to contribute to the literature. It makes students knowledgeable about the literature around the world. Exams are not too difficult to pass but also not too easy to avail distinction. The pass percentage is 35%.

Other: I have chosen this course because I am immensely interested in English literature. The best thing in my mind about the course is that it makes you knowledgeable about the more than 1,000 years old literature and the revolution in one particular language. Our college should include more syllabus so that students can be matched to the international level. Gujarat University organises amazing extracurricular activities, events, seminars, and symposiums. The campus crowd is rather friendly. The university department is readily available for your needs of the syllabus. There is no nuisance on the campus surrounding. Scholarships are availed by suitable scholars.

Review of Gujarat University.

Placements: To be quite honest, there is no effective placement cell for the literature students. But, our university teachers do recommend the students to other colleges and universities depending on the performance of the students. Students are recommended to the business management colleges where they have an opportunity to teach business communication with an hourly pay of Rs. 350 which I think is not bad for someone without experience in teaching. However, for the students possessing innovative ideas and a craving for start-ups, the university does offer the motivated students an opportunity to enrol themselves in GUSEC where they are concretely given a chance to start any business on their own.

Infrastructure: The university and the department do possess excellent Wi-Fi facility. A huge library and sports facilities are available. There is also an ongoing process for the development of a language lab which is assumed to be available for students within a short time. There are separate washrooms for men and women on multiple floors. The canteen is well maintained, and there hasn't been any complaint or any case of food adulteration so far, as the quality of the food is concerned. The price range is very affordable.

Faculty: Each faculty possess a doctorate degree and an experience of 20 to 25 years in teaching. The teachers motivate students in publishing their research papers which I can confirm as I have published it under the guidance of Dr Dushyant Nimavat. I believe there can be some changes in methods of teaching as it has become monotonous with the way that they teach. A change may be appreciated for sure. The student to faculty ratio is 40:6.
