I am absolutely dissatisfied with this university.

Placements: 18% of students get placed in my course. The highest package is 3 LPA, and the lowest package is 2 LPA. The average package is 1.5 LPA in my course. The top recruiting companies of my course are the State Bank of India, non-government organisation, etc.

Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure available in my course are free Wi-Fi, a library, and classrooms. The quality and the facilities of my hostel are below average. The quality of food available in the mess is not very good for health. The university has Person Memorial Hospital.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality of teachers is good. The course curriculum is relevant, but it does not make students industry-ready. Semester exams are difficult because the professor does not complete the syllabus on time.

Other: I chose this course because in the future it helps me to get a social work. The best thing about my course is international economics.

3Placements4Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

I am absolutely satisfied with its academic curriculum and cultural aspects.

Placements: Honestly, there are no placement offers for history students at the undergraduate level. But in other departments like Economics and Languages, there are placement chances with fair packages. As far as I know about my course, which is History Honors, there's no official campus placement. Obviously, students can go out and search for internships and jobs, but at the college level, there are no provisions for placement in the History department.

Infrastructure: The classrooms at Viva Bharati University are properly air-conditioned, with good lighting and sound facilities. Classroom infrastructure and basic furniture are good. There are numerous libraries in this university, but our central library is of top-notch quality. There are a huge number of books and other facilities such as an air-conditioned reading room and a journal section with fast-speed free Wi-Fi. Viva Bharati University provides hostel facilities to both boys and girls, and there are numerous hostels on our campus, but to be very honest, boys' hostels are okay.

Faculty: The professors at Viva Bharati University are very humble and learned. We call them Dadra (elder brother for male professors) and Didi (elder sister for female faculty members). Obviously, they are good at teaching, and of course, very humble, welcoming, and generous in other aspects. Our courses are relevant for further studies/academia, especially if someone is preparing for NET JRF or other teaching exams, or even All India Service exams. I never found my semester exams difficult. Viva Bharati professors are good at making questions (conceptual). Anyone who has kept their eyes open can solve their questions with no struggle, marking is strict.

Other: I'm currently pursuing my B.A. History (Hons.) and this is my last year (CBCS pattern). There are 2 things best about this course, 1st is the syllabus design and 2nd the professors. The history department lacks faculty strength (in numbers). Viva Bharati should recruit a professor. There are several cultural fests and melas organized on our campus that have a blend of local culture and global reach. (Posh Mela and others).

Shade of history department of Viva Bharati.

Placements: There is no placement in courses like history. But pass-out students have good careers in other fields also. In previous years, companies provided internships. Few like Wipro, etc. You can prefer this college as it is good in academics. The rest depends upon how you adapt to this college.

Infrastructure: There is free Wi-Fi throughout the campus. The university has a library and air conditioners. Classrooms are quite good with ACs and smart rooms. The university provides one of the cheapest hostels in the overall India. There is a PM Hospital for free medical care for students. Every department has a canteen. But not too good.

Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified. The history department has NAAC+ credit. Professors are very helpful. The teaching quality is too good. The curriculum is based on NEP. Semester exams are quite difficult. You have to acquire 40% to pass in examination and at least 75% attendance to sit in the exam.

Other: I chose this college for honors in history. I wish there were some fieldwork. Regarding the study, the university is very cultural-centric. There are no promotions for Western events. We have good scholarships.
