    Very best college for pursuing M.A.
    Placements: For campus placements, students are eligible to sit for interviews and apply for jobs during the final semesters. A few companies that have visited the campus for placements in the last decade are: Line Group, Dabur India, Reliance Industries, Tata Motors, SPCL, and Infosys, to name a few. The highest package has been 18–20 LPA, and the average ranges from 8–12 LPA. Approximately 75% of students get placed in major companies in their first few years. In my case, I am preparing for the UGC NET exam to secure the minimum qualification for the post of assistant professor.
    Infrastructure: No, I am not staying in a hostel but I know very well about the condition of the rooms and the food given to students in the hostel. The hostel provides separate rooms for every student but those rules, which are bigger, were shared by the two individuals. They know they don't have PG every month for food and login; it costs around INR 5,000. The food is good but not up to par.
    Faculty: We have a semester pattern being followed and 4 semesters for 2 years of study. Each semester, we have 4 theory papers and 1 skill development paper. In the first year, we study the ancient history of the world and our nation. In the second year, we study the modern history of India and the role of history in the tourism department. We also have vivas at the end of each semester. The syllabus system motivates us to learn. Class size:-45 Course fee: INR 17000 per year.

    The campus atmosphere is very good for students.
    Placements: Almost 60% of the students got placed in our course. The highest salary package offered is 25 LPA, and the lowest salary package offered is 15 LPA. Almost 25–30% of the students got an internship. Our college teaches us about technology, infrastructure, business process and history-related things. The top recruiting companies for our course are Tata, Jio Reliance, Mahindra, and many others.
    Infrastructure: Sorry, IGNOU does not provide any hostel facilities, and if I have to opt official, then I rate hostel facilities as low, with the worst condition, no safety and privacy and not even a good facility. Ragging is just normal and due to this, I rate hostel facilities at -10. External Expenses: Rs. 7000–Rs. 10000.
    Faculty: The course structure is really good. It covers all the aspects of art (painting, sculpture, and architecture) and its history and also has a paper on aesthetics, iconography, etc. We have four papers per semester. We have a semester system. Every semester, we have semester exams and practicals. For internals, we have to submit assignments and we also have a number of SNAP tests. Class size;-60 The course costs INR 34000 per year.
