My review about this college

Learning Experience: Course, study procedure, and exam procedure are smooth. In any course at the University, one can get so much knowledge and information. I am so grateful to the University for all these. After my admission, I received study materials and books from the study center. IGNOU sends all study material by post and also a project guide, which is very convenient for the student. It's an open university, so there's no campus placement, but it's the best open university. The evaluation of marks is a bit tough, but it's considered equal to regular universities. Exams are conducted in exam centers.

Placements: College helps you get interviewed by different hotels for the 6-month industrial training program. The stipend offered is approximately 3000. The placement scenario is not that good. According to me, getting a placement depends on a student's academic career: how he has performed in exams, how attentive he was in class, how active he was in group discussions, and so on. Placement depends on all these criteria. Only a deserving child gets a placement. There are ample opportunities for graduates and post-graduates to select the best career for themselves. The placement depends on oneself.

Faculty: All the faculty members were very supportive and friendly. There were both male as well as female faculty members, but everyone was like a real friend, a real teacher, and a real path-showing person. They all treated us, students, as their own children and never made harsh words with any of the students during my study period. The structure of the course was very good and well-organized, but it was on the tough side. Very little focus was given to practicals, but I had to submit 8 assignments in total in the 2-year M.A. course.

Very best college for pursuing M.A.

Placements: For campus placements, students are eligible to sit for interviews and apply for jobs during the final semesters. A few companies that have visited the campus for placements in the last decade are: Line Group, Dabur India, Reliance Industries, Tata Motors, SPCL, and Infosys, to name a few. The highest package has been 18–20 LPA, and the average ranges from 8–12 LPA. Approximately 75% of students get placed in major companies in their first few years. In my case, I am preparing for the UGC NET exam to secure the minimum qualification for the post of assistant professor.

Infrastructure: No, I am not staying in a hostel but I know very well about the condition of the rooms and the food given to students in the hostel. The hostel provides separate rooms for every student but those rules, which are bigger, were shared by the two individuals. They know they don't have PG every month for food and login; it costs around INR 5,000. The food is good but not up to par.

Faculty: We have a semester pattern being followed and 4 semesters for 2 years of study. Each semester, we have 4 theory papers and 1 skill development paper. In the first year, we study the ancient history of the world and our nation. In the second year, we study the modern history of India and the role of history in the tourism department. We also have vivas at the end of each semester. The syllabus system motivates us to learn. Class size:-45 Course fee: INR 17000 per year.
