Course Curriculum Overview
The curriculum is very detailed and covers different eras and events of Indian history and world history. The faculty-to-student ratio is quite healthy. There are regular lectures on a day-to-day basis with interactive sessions afterward. National and international conferences are held from time to time with renowned scholars invited. If one studies diligently throughout the terms, the exams are not difficult to pass.
Fees and Financial Aid
The fees were nominal. I was awarded the Arijit Sengupta Memorial Scholarship at the undergraduate level. Financial assistance is available for students with limited means and they can apply for it separately.
Campus Life
The annual fest is held during winter. There are different freshers' welcome ceremonies conducted by the various departments at the start of the session. There are several literary clubs at the university. The library is well-stocked and the study area is well designed. There are multiple e-classrooms throughout the campus too.
Admission
One has to secure a minimum of 50 percent marks at the undergraduate level to be eligible to apply for an M.A. Since I was a home student, I didn't have to take the entrance test. The application form and all the other details can be found on the official university website.
