Campus Life

The teachers conduct themselves with utmost grace and modesty and bring in the same culture towards the students. Here students are empowered with knowledge and motivated to become responsible citizens. All students are treated equally regardless of their economic strata or sexual orientation. The library is very nicely materialized with the best of books which helps the students get a better understanding of the subject.

Admission

The University of Calicut is the 2nd oldest and largest university set up in Kerala. I wanted to get a government job as I was always keen in serving the country in some way or another. I enjoyed the structure of how our goverment works and hence decided to take up this course. The admission process is simple and can be done online through the website www.universityofcalicut.info. A list of documents has to be submitted and then the admission process would be complete.

The entire faculty base is highly educated and most of them are PhD holders and NET qualified. The faculty is accessible for any doubt clearing sessions and the material taught by them is very understandable.

In my opinion my course MA History is very very traditional. As a student who learn this could only became a Lecture by the syllabus and curriculum. But the improvement in archealogy related pracrical sessions and multi-subject learning by blending it with more geography and politics could make the course more effective and also job securing.

I got to know more about the rules and regulations, and functionality of my country during the course. the course teaches the structure of Indian democracy, its functions etc. It digs deep into politics of the country making sure that when students graduate they have enough info to face reality with politics for india. we learned about constitutions and structure of many major countries. Exams were conducted not according to the rest of the students for us. we had late exams and hence late results and late graduation. difficulty level of exams if you study well enough you can crack it. its theory based degree

Course Curriculum Overview:

Course curriculum is good. At some points, it needs revision. The subjects feel ancient. The teaching also need to be improved. The typical lecture method is very unhelpful. Instead they should introduce digital learning. Also the course lacks in-hand experience on the subject. Rather than the robotic manual learning there's no activity involved

Course curriculum is great and it helps us to prepare for the real world applications and also for the further academic pursuits.By the materials for the syllabus were most not available so it was so difficult for us to prepare for the exams and also the faculty face it so hard to teach us without proper materials.Also the face difficulty in the question level as we are forced to write the exams without proper materials.Our exams were not properly conducted they have published the exam date all of a sudden eventhough we studied semester wise they conducted exams yearly and 1&2 semester together it had us so hard to prepare for exams.Also our valuation was not properly done so only fews percentage of the students were only passed in the exams.The carelessness of the authorities spoiled life of many students like us.
