M.A. in Defense and Strategic Studies - Batch of 2025

2.0

Not a good experience. Over expensive and not worth it.

Placements: No one from my batch was given any placement. So technically, doing the course will not get you employed. All the internships that are relevant to the field can be done by you, but almost all of them are unpaid (with some even requiring you to pay, eg, Claws makes you pay Rs. 5,000 for an internship). Apart from this, relating to any other city and the living expenses, it will ruin you financially. Even after all this, there is no guarantee of any kind of decent placement. From my batch, people went on internships, but none got placed.

Infrastructure: University infrastructure is pretty good with all amenities (AC classrooms, lifts, washing machines, etc.). Moreover, cleanliness is maintained all the time. With regards to hostel, there are no ACs there as of now, and it gets extremely humid during summer. But that can be managed by buying a cooler. Mess is actually impressive, with decent food quality. Overall, the facilities are satisfactory for a student.

Faculty: There are different departments in the university with different areas of study. Some of the departments are doing a good job and have excellent faculty members. As far as my department is concerned, the faculty is not at all impressive. They lack not just subject knowledge but professionalism as a whole. Most of them have ego issues, take pleasure in tormenting students, are not at all supportive of their students, and hold personal grudges. They even threaten to make students suffer academically, and are so deep into power politics. Worst part is that students have no authority to approach against them. Some of the courses have an impressive curriculum and will get you somewhere in the industry. However, other courses, particularly non-technical, theory-based ones, are not an advantage unless one aspires to be in academia or has other plans.

Other: Exciting events keep happening. Scholarships are also available, and students have plenty of extracurricular activities to indulge themselves in. But all that comes at a great financial cost, even for simple courses of Arts students pay in Lacs (with no placements), and other costs also add up. So, enroll while taking your financial situation in mind (or land in debt).
