It is an average college for M.A. In History.

Placements: The minimum GPA required for admission to this college is 75%. The highest remuneration package in the second year of high school is 4.5 LPA. 3.5 LPA is the lowest pay that is offered. The honors professor of history position is, in my opinion, the most significant position at our college.

Infrastructure: Our course infrastructure is top-notch and very effective going forward. The other hostel residents are helpful, and the food and hospitality are good. Students can choose from a range of meal options at the canteen, such as momos, friend price, chowmein, and more.

Faculty: Teachers have a wealth of knowledge and can help you develop your abilities. They help you with your studies, provide you with chances to develop your individuality and treat you like family. In addition to giving me a general understanding of the subject, the course I'm doing helps me get ready for competitive assessment.

Placements: 72% of students are placed with packages ranging from 15 LPA to 27 LPA in companies like History TV18, National Geographic, Discovery Channel, and many others.

The top roles are writers, editors, etc. Many students get internships.

Infrastructure: Each department has separate classes with proper resources. Sub-labs are also available for every subject. Wi-Fi is available all around the college, including all hostels and the campus. Each student gets a single room with a study desk, one wardrobe, and one bed. There is some chaos in the hostel area, but the food is very good. There are several stadiums for different sports.

Faculty: Teachers in our college are qualified, efficient, and helpful. They know us well and have years of teaching experience. The teaching quality is excellent, and I like the way they teach. I think the curriculum is adequate. The semester exam makes it easy to get high scores, and the pass rate is 73%.

Faculty: Teachers are certified and well-educated, and the level of instruction is above average, but there is room for growth because the older teachers do not communicate effectively with the pupils, but the younger teachers are eager to teach and answer their questions.

I graduated with 65% in history but I can't go for higher studies due to my poor economic background. What to do?

Answered 7 years ago

Hello Bhupen, It's indeed nice to know your desire to study further. But then one can not ignore economic condition. I would advise you to take up job and then pursue your dreams via distance education mode.
