The political science department at Tripura University consists of five doctorate-holding professors. Classes are held four times daily, and student interaction is encouraged through questionnaires. While most faculty are dedicated, some senior members show less commitment, occasionally leading to fewer classes and lower student grades. The academic year is divided into two semesters, each featuring a major exam and internal exams worth 30 marks. The exams, though challenging, reflect class teachings well, with only 1 or 2 students typically failing.
Most final semester students qualify for campus placements based on their abilities, and many secure internships, although specific details are lacking. As a government institution, Tripura University offers lower fees than private universities. Admission and course fees generally range from 20,000 to 30,000 INR, with MA courses costing between 15,000 to 28,000 INR and MA Integrated courses at 37,000 INR. Initial admission fees range from 3,000 to 5,000 INR, and semester fees are about 3,800 INR.
Various scholarships are available, including Merit cum Means, Post Matric for ST/SC, Rajiv Gandhi National Fellowship, Northeast Council, and Dr. Surendra Nath scholarships, contingent on reservation and family income, with additional support for BPL students. An ST category student received a 13,000 INR annual scholarship from the tribal welfare department. Campus employment and placement information remain limited.
