M.A. in Modern History - Batch of 2025

The best university for history subjects.

Placements: College students are provided with jobs in various government and private institutions. Their maximum salary is 5 lacs, and their minimum salary is 2.5 lacs per annum. They are working in different archaeologists and different archeology offices. They are also teaching in different schools and colleges.

Infrastructure: Our college is very big and attractive. There are separate hostels for the students, and different places have been created for studying. The classrooms are separate, and each class has a projector and Wi-Fi. There is a large library and a quiet reading area with it.

Faculty: Various curriculum activities and various examinations are conducted in our college. The teachers here are very helpful, educated, and skilled. They try to improve our studies in various ways. The examination system here is a semester system, and the pass rate is more than 90%.

A glimpse to JNU - A HOME .

Placements: In 2023, the average package offered to UG graduates was Rs. 8 LPA, and to PG graduates, it was Rs. 9.50 to Rs. 10 LPA. Top recruiters included Cradlepoint, Optum, and Salesforce. There are a lot of internships for students provided by the Russian embassy and ambassador managers.

Infrastructure: Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in New Delhi, India, has many facilities and infrastructure, including a central library. It is a nine-story building with a carpet area of 100,000 square feet. It has a collection of books, periodicals, journals, newspapers, and e-books. There are several hostels and residential quarters for students, faculty, and non-teaching staff.

Faculty: Teachers are very well-qualified. They have done their Ph.D. and also have teaching experience. My course is very demanding in this era, and it makes it easier for foreign tourists to explore India. College exams are not difficult, but there are 4 exams in each semester.

Other: The reason to choose this course is that JNU offers only foreign languages in its undergraduate program, and I chose the Russian language because of my affection towards it. Students with low family income (less than 2.5 Lacs) are given a scholarship of 2000 per month.

If one has no option, then come to this college.

Placements: It is my first year but I know seniors who got placements last year with salary package of 10 LPA. The highest salary package offered is 33 LPA, but it was an off-campus placement. I also know a second-year student who is doing an internship at MNIT Jaipur and has received offers for an internship from IIT Delhi.

Infrastructure: The course and hostel infrastructure available here are very bad because there is no building for classes on this campus. We have been living in a dormitory for four months and have not been assigned a hostel. New hostels and buildings for engineering students are under construction.

Faculty: Some teachers are very helpful but others are not. Teachers have very little experience but their qualifications are good, though not 100%. Semester exam level is normal and some teachers give questions directly from notes. Pass percentage is approximately 85.

Other: I want to share that if one really wants to do computer science, try not to come to this college. If one has no option, then one can come.

One of the best universities of India, really appreciable.

Placements: There is no definite placement cell, but companies do visit here to hire freshers. Even if you don't get a job through campus placement, you will get a job easily through off-campus placement. Wherever you go, you will obviously find some of our alumni.

Infrastructure: When it comes to infrastructure, yes, you will not get buildings and classrooms like those in high-feel private colleges, but the whole campus is covered with Wi-Fi. The food quality depends upon the hostel and mess secretary, but overall food quality is very good.

Faculty: When it comes to faculty members, you don't need to worry. You will be taught by some of the best faculty members in India. They are highly qualified and dedicated to teaching you by any means. The course curriculum is a little old but good. JNU doesn't prepare you for industries, but they shape you into a better version. You need to maintain a CGPA of 4 out of 9 to pass.

The college provides excellent education and amazing quality education.

Placements: The highest package offered by the college was around 20 LPA, and the average package was around 6 lacs per annum. Around 30-40% of students were placed from the college. Our college also organized various research projects in which various students could participate and enhance their skills. Top companies include Google, Qualcomm, and many more. The placement cell is very responsive.

Infrastructure: The food quality of the canteen is excellent, and the events that take place all over the year are really spectacular. The college provides free Wi-Fi, and the classrooms are very large. The sports facility is also good, with a massive field. Both medical and sports facilities are present in the college.

Faculty: The teachers are very qualified. Students most of the time study by themselves. The exam pattern was simple. The paper used to be 75 marks, and 25 marks were internal marks that the college used to give us by assessing our performance each semester. All the faculty members are the real gems of our department and will guide you in the best way possible.

Not good for students who are seeking campus placement opportunities.

Placements: The highest salary package offered is about 12 LPA. There's no need to worry too much about placement, it depends on students. It's more about students rather than a college or university. Around 20% of students got hired.

Infrastructure: Whole campus is Wi-fi enabled, but the speed is quite poor. Campus has a great network overall, so we can access the internet on mobile phones. There are no fees for a hostel and dorms are provided for those students who are unable to get a hostel room from the institute.

Faculty: Faculty members are not good. New staff lacks teaching experience and are unable to teach us without using PPT or handbook notes. Faculty members need to understand that skilled and qualified teachers are required for teaching.

Other: If one wants to enjoy college life, this is the best college. There is no need to worry about anything, as there is a freedom for both boys and girls.
