Good faculty, peaceful environment, and campus.

Placements: Around 60-70% of students were placed from our college. Placements are mostly related to research, museums, heritage, management teaching, and tourism sectors. The highest package offered was around 6 LPA. Top recruiting organisations included Archaeology Survey of India, museums, private heritage companies, the tourism department, and other sectors.

Infrastructure: The department has a good classroom, a good history of books, basic lab facilities, and internet Wi-Fi support for academic work. The learning environment was peaceful for practical work assignments and research. The hostel faculty was decent and safe, with average food.

Faculty: The teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable, and most of them explained the topic clearly with good support and practical and research work. The teaching quality was good, especially for history and heritage-related subjects. The course curriculum was relevant and included fieldwork.

Other: I chose this course because of my interest in history, heritage, museums, and ancient culture. The best thing about the course was the practical, learning, exhibition, knowledge, and supportive teachers. I wish there were more placement opportunities and better practical labs for students.

The college is good, and the placements are also good.

Placements: Almost 80% of students were placed in my course. The highest package offered is about 1.5 Lacs, the lowest salary is about 30,000, and the average package is about 60,000. Almost all of my course friends went in line of education, and I believe that all my friends became ideal teachers.

Infrastructure: Our hostel has free Wi-Fi. The college has a science lab. The library has AC facilities as well. There is a mess, and it offers high-quality food for students. A sports room is available, and an indoor stadium is also available.

Faculty: The college recruits highly-qualified and knowledgeable teachers. They are very helpful to students. Semester exams are not so hard because teachers in our college teach in a way that almost all the students pass the exams. Students also teach and help each other with their problems.

Other: I chose this course because I have an interest in this course.

The teaching faculty is very good. For other things like placements, etc., it is average.

Placements: In my opinion, Himachal Pradesh University in history courses will not provide any kind of placements. In my course, I didn't find any placements. Some campaigning is found by me, but these are out of reach for all students. I think that they are making a vision.

Infrastructure: There is a poor infrastructure in hostels. There are cracks in the building of hostels, but in the course, I can say that it is pretty good. The library is mostly helpful to students. In winter, they face some difficulties. Food provided by the hostel mess doesn't taste very good.

Faculty: I personally found faculty members to be very good and supportive. Only one thing that some members give emphasis on is the marks or the NET set. Most of the time, semester exams are started, but the syllabus is not completed. The course curriculum is pretty nice and well-organised.
