CHS is the best department for doing master's and PhD in history in India. Historians like Bipin Chandra, Romila Thapar, and Aditya Mukherjee have been faculty members here so did a master's here has always been my dream. There is 1 professor for every 7-10 students in master's. there are two tutorial+discussions instead of term papers which accumulate 50 marks and one end sem exam takes place for every course for 50 marks.

Course Curriculum Overview:

For the course i must say that this is something everyone needs to study about even if it's for just a part. We have ethics, moral, cultural relativism and etc. In our syllabus and it all really help to make our thinking rational, to see World from that point of view from where one can see the clarity. It's really necessary for improvement in personality and making good decision. I think there's need for making this course more practical like teaching, we can teach students about essentials of philosophy for there betterment of decision making from an early age.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course is very relevant and covers all the history topics comprehensively. The study material is very good as many upsc aspirants and students preparing for competitive exams refer it. Though the curriculum can be improved by limiting and only adding the essential topics in it. There is too much of unnecessary information which makes it difficult to understand at times.
