Absolutely satisfied because of facilities, campus crowd, and vibe were very good.
Placements: I think there were 1,200 students. The highest salary was Rs.70,000, and the lowest was Rs.30,000. IDF and BBC were top recruiters. About 4 percent of students got internships at BBC. Roles included archaeologist, logistics team leader, and correspondent. For M.A. in History students, the top recruiting companies like the Indian Council of Historical Research (ICHR), the National Museum, the Archaeological Survey of India, and government departments. These organizations valued the analytical and research skills developed through a history degree, offering opportunities in research, heritage conservation, and education. Additionally, schools and universities were also major recruiters.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi, labs, AC classrooms, and a library were available. The food was too good, and the medical facilities were average. The canteen was clean, and sports and games facilities were good, with a big playground for sports and fitness activities. The Nalanda University Library was open from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. (Monday to Friday) and from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (Saturday, Sunday, and public holidays). It was a fully air-conditioned library with Wi-Fi connectivity. It was fully automated with KOHA ILM software and had a student locker facility.
Faculty: Teachers were confident, helpful, knowledgeable, and provided the best teaching quality. The semester exam was an average difficulty, and the passing percentage was 35%. It was generally agreed that Nalanda University faculty were well-qualified, knowledgeable, and helpful. Reviews and testimonials highlighted their expertise and willingness to support students. However, it was also acknowledged that individual.
Other: This course was about history and historical studies, sociology, and I liked history. Teaching techniques and research. The campus vibe was very good. There were many fests and events, and the campus crowd was average but good.
