3Placements3Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

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.

In my college, there are many blocks for many departments.

Placements: From 3rd semester, students become eligible for campus placements. Companies that visited are Times of India, Antara, Amazon, etc., with a 10 LPA package. The percentage required for getting a placement should be at least above 50%, otherwise it depends on interview performance. After getting the degree, I'll get a college placement.

Infrastructure: Overall experience for my college is quite normal; it's not an awesome college but if you get best friends who match your mindset, then this college is good but not better . If you won't get good friends, then you will experience the worst. The library here contains all kinds of books that we need.

Faculty: The faculty are really helpful and active. They are always ready to provide all the necessities a student requires. We often interact with them whenever we find something difficult. They are very friendly in nature and help us to improve in our co-curricular activities.

The best college in Madurai.

Other: I've chosen this course because there is more demand for dedicated social workers. Personally, I wished to learn professional social work. The best thing about our course is we have practical studies, and throughout the course, we have three block placements. I wish that our institution can provide on-campus placement. We have many cultural events, fests, campus crowds, etc. Our institution gives us lots of exposure for both academics and culture.
