Remarks

We have to apply online through National testing agency as it the entrance exam was conducted by them. There is no offline admission. The fees for the entrance was 500rs for the unreserved category. Through the selection process was category divided between general, OBC, ST, SC, and PWD. Once we get through the entrance We have to pay online and submit the Challan on the day of the admission date which is fixed by the university.

Course Curriculum Overview

4

As I was pursuing my Bachelor of Arts in Political science I applied for the same in my Master's. The faculty-student Ratio is 1:20. All the professors have PhD degrees and some guest faculty have clear UGC net or pursuing Ph.D. The course is for 2 years and it is conducted twice a year in semester wise. The exam difficulty is not that hard.

Internships Opportunities

4

We can individually apply for internships and there are no restrictions imposed on any students though it should be chosen according to the department and stream. I study Political science and aim to research so during my internship, I taught in a college in my native place.

Placement Experience

3.5

Students are eligible for campus recruitment from 3rd semester. Hdfc, axis, and mostly tech companies are in contact with the campus. I have no specific data about the package. I plan to continue with phd and focus on research.

Fees and Financial Aid

For the Master Of Arts or School of Social Science, the fees during 2019-21 were 23000 though it usually increases every year which is not a good sign for a central university. Students can apply for any scholarship both state or central. Even the university gives special scholarships to the top rankers.

Campus Life

3.5

There was no specific annual fest but the students of each department or each state organized their fest. The library is quite equipped with books though its study area is a little congested. Every month the student union and the groups of each state student union organise sports tournaments and curricular activities. There is no specific website run by the students.

Hostel Facilities

4

The rooms are quite ok though a little small. The mess meal is quite good with the fees though they can still improve. Every student can get a hostel as there is enough accommodation for both girls and boys hostel separately and there is no extra process for the students just that they need to get a signature from the Department HOD.

Course Curriculum Overview:

In my course we are learning a lot of theory papers like cultural studies , gender and queer studies , subartern studies , critical approches to theories and so on. Even in the thrid sem i had a project of translation under one of the best facutly in our department. This strengthens my resume. These syllabus are really helpful to participate clear competetive exams like ugc net . We had a lot of questions from our syllabus in the previous exam. To tell about the exam , timing is 3 hour for every paper. We dont have any practicals or labs. Paper inclues 2 marks , 5 marks and 15 marks.

Placement Experience:

There is is placement cell available in the university. One of the main responsibilities of the Placement Cell is to motivate, train and prepare the students of the University and its affiliated Colleges for campus interviews. It plays a very important and key role in counselling and guiding the students of the University and its affiliated Colleges for their successful career placement, which is a crucial interface for the students between the stages of completion of academic programmes of studies and entry into suitable employment.

Placement Experience:

The students become eligible for campus placements after their second semester. That is when recruiter officers approach students for their interest and interviews. Amazon is one of the main recruiters. The average package is 5lpa starting. 40% get placed. My plans are to pursue a PhD after my master's.
