It is the best government university with low course fees.
Placements: Placements for the subject of history are not very good. However, pursuing a Ph.D. in history at MKU is a good choice. An internship is compulsory for every batch, lasting up to 2 months in relevant departments and fields, which really helps students gain experience in those positions and inspires their aspirations.
Infrastructure: Facilities of the library and Wi-Fi in the department are good. There is also a RUSA-sponsored smart board. The hostel is quite old, and the food is mainly South Indian cuisine, which is average. A gym is available in every hostel block. For medical facilities, we have our own university hospital just opposite the staff quarters road, making it very convenient for first aid and other medical needs.
Faculty: Professors are well-qualified and approachable. They mostly give lectures using PPTs, which makes it easier to visualize the lessons rather than just listening and getting bored. The curriculum is excellent as it offers a wide range of opportunities beyond just focusing on history. The difficulty level of semester exams depends on one’s attention in class and studies.
