Good faculty and infrastructure.
Placements: The strength of our class is 15. We are smaller in number. Our department doesn't provide internships and placements. We have to crack competitive examinations like the NET or state exams to ace in the field. One may also get a diploma offered by the Archaeological Survey of India to become eligible to go for field work.
Infrastructure: The university is large. It has a playground, a library, a canteen, auditorium and an amphitheater. It is calm and peaceful. The library is open to all. It provides books and journals for all subjects. Computer labs are located in the library only. Daily newspapers are also provided. The canteen is also open to all. It is usually kept clean and food is edible. The classrooms are well ventilated. A projector is equipped in all classrooms. Each department has its own library as well. Wi-Fi is connected throughout the whole campus. Washrooms are not usually cleaned and stink with no light. Sports are organized frequently and students participate. Annual functions are also organized in the auditorium, with students performing. I am not aware of the hostel much but I got from sources that they do not provide good rooms and food. After admission, students may apply to register in the hostel. We have three hostels: girls, boys and international.
Faculty: The teachers and office staff are helpful, humble and polite. They have completed their Ph.D. and other diplomas. They are quite knowledgeable in their field. They teach us well and tend to finish the syllabus early to give us time for revision. They mainly teach in Kannada, making it hard for some students to understand and communicate. They provided us with notes and referred us to some books. They are quite approachable. The end-of-semester exams are not that hard if you study well. We had to refer to previous year's question papers to score well and also to the notes.
Other: I was preparing for the CUET-PG 2023 examination when I came onto the university website. They are not under CUET-PG. Unable to crack the examination, I registered as a student at this university. I was able to crack the entrance test as well and was admitted to the department. The best thing about the course is that you gain knowledge and understand human history, which is interconnected with other fields as well. It also helps us to understand continuity and change. The course is great. I would like staff members to also communicate with students in other common languages, as it becomes hard for new students from other states to communicate and approach any staff.
