Overall best University for M.A. in History Course.
Placements: Approximately 67% of students took part in this study. Top recruitment agencies include National Museums, Cultural Affair Departments, Tourism Departments, and so on. High-level positions include Tour Manager, Cultural Consultant, and so on. The average pay offered was approximately 31 LPA. The highest wage offered was 45 LPA. Almost 61% of students received an internship throughout this semester.
Infrastructure: The university facilities are genuinely amazing, the best they can provide. It boasts a sprawling 75-acre campus with nicely completed and well-designed structures. Photography aficionados have numerous opportunities to get involved. If you come to visit, I am confident that you will be pleasantly pleased by the friendly hospitality and the beautiful design.
Faculty: Teachers are certified and well-educated, and the level of instruction is above average, but there is room for growth because the older teachers do not communicate effectively with the pupils, but the younger teachers are eager to teach and answer their questions. The course curriculum is appropriate. The semester tests are modest, with a pass rate of 57%.
