It’s a good college, you can surely be a part of it.
Placements: As my course is not a technical one, there is not much scope of placements but yes, there are always news of some placements which are surely not of heavy packages. The main purpose of this course is to improve your understanding of history and that it does well.
Infrastructure: The university offers good infrastructure. There are many historical monuments residing under the campus. It is one of the oldest university of India. It has one of the best libraries of Asia. An air-conditioned virtual library is also set up. Wi-Fi is also available. Talking about canteens, there are more than 3 canteens in the campus and all of them offer nice quality of food.
Faculty: Teachers are very helpful. They are very knowledgeable. Many of them are the authors of renowned books. They teach in a very lively manner. The course curriculum is very effective for the students who aspire to become civil servants or they want an in depth knowledge of the subject. Talking about semester exams, they are of decent level, you will pass them if you pay a little attention.
Other: I am interested in civil services and I aspire to be one. This course gives me a good knowledge of history which I think of making my optional in the examination. In addition, it is very cheap to do B.A. from here. Everything was according to my need and so I chose it.

Our college provides very good architecture and infrastructure for students.
Placements: I have chosen BA, and more than 10% of the students from our course were placed. The highest salary offered was Rs. 40,000 per month and the lowest salary offered was Rs. 10,000 per month and the average salary offered was Rs. 25,000 per month. Reputed companies don't recruit students from our course. Students who got more than 80% marks in academics get selected in reputed companies like Tech Mahindra, etc.
Infrastructure: I have chosen the LU because it has huge classrooms, along with free Wi-Fi facility and huge library for students to gain more information and knowledge. The quality of the hostel can be improved if beds can be replaced. The quality of the food served here is not that good, but we have to eat. Medical facilities and canteen food are awesome. Our college has a huge field for students to play many sports and games. All the necessary sports equipment is provided to us.
Faculty: Teachers here are very qualified and teach in a very good way so that students can understand every point. They provide us with a daily assignment, which makes us learn new things every day. Their teaching quality is very good, and I understand their teaching very clearly. The course curriculum is relevant, and it makes students ready for the industry and other civil services.
Other: I have chosen this course because I have much interest in history. The best thing about our course is that it provided me with every knowledge about our India and other historical things.

Infrastructure: Separate hostels were there for boys and girls. Old necessary facilities were provided in the hostel. There were two persons in one room. Basic stuff like bed, study table, and cupboard were given. Washrooms were neat and clean, you got clean drinking water. You could also apply for scholarships.
Faculty: If you want to study it is a good college. Professors were highly qualified and taught us very well. If you attend lectures daily it will be very beneficial for you. Assignments and exams were conducted per semester. In alternate semesters there were MCQ type examinations.
Other: You had to be active to get exposure. You should be active in the college to get exposure.
