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.

The college has good faculty members, facilities, and infrastructure.

Placements: So as I mentioned earlier I have completed my graduation in history so, there isn't any company coming for placement and package. Apart from all things my college is located in such a beautiful place I. e Shantiniketan. I don't have any ideas about internship and placement because I come from a nonengineering background and in history especially no one gets the opportunity to do an internship.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good but there are some problems with medical facilities and of course, due to regional variations. The food culture of students doesn't match with this place. Overall it's good to be here. There is a problem with canteen management become students have still faced a lot of problems with that. The food quality is also very poor.

Faculty: Our professors are very knowledgeable because they have done their Ph.D. in foreign countries. They have decided to become professors within the nation and educate their people. About the semester exam, it is really very tough so you can't read the whole syllabus in one day and sit in the exam you have to read properly everything that is taught in the class.

Other: I have selected this college because of my best friend. Everything is very well managed in the case of my college.

Great campus and professors.

Placements: Placement is very low. There is no placement in the arts subjects, but there is placement in the language and management courses, etc. The scenario isn't that great now, but when the university was ranked in the top ten in NIRF, placement was better than it is now.

Infrastructure: Classrooms are good with AC available, and free Wi-Fi is provided on campus. A cooler and free Wi-Fi are also available in the hostel. The hostel fee is very low. The hostel premises are clean, and there are many canteens, grounds, and a gym with well-equipped machines and a trainer.

Faculty: Teachers are helpful, knowledgeable, and their teaching quality is also great. The exams in the university are difficult. The pass percentage is 40%. The curriculum is also relevant, but I don't think that it makes the students industry-ready, to be honest.

Other: Our batch was very good, they all were helpful and good at studies as well. The best thing about my course was the professors. They literally helped us a lot, along with the Ph.D. scholars. The surrounding area is full of greenery, with well-maintained roads, and a lot of functions and rituals are also celebrated.
