Course Curriculum Overview

3.5

The course and its curriculum is very good and relevant. Usually BA History course in other institutions will mostly centred on Indian history. But here the syllabus covers wide range of papers like world history, indian history, archaeology, museology, numismatics, and architecture. Lack of faculty is the main problem here.

Fees and Financial Aid

The tuition fee is around 25k in first year and 15k in rest other years. The hostel and mess fee is nearly 30k in first year and 20k for rest of the years. You can apply for state and central scholorships. The university will also provide scholorships. Merit scholarship will be given to top 3 performers in semester from each department and class. They will get 10k , 7.5 k , 5k respectively for semester. There is no policy of fee increase. Last time when the university increased fee the Students Federation of India (SFI) fought with the university for more than 30 days and filed a petition in madras high court and finally revoked the fee increase.

Campus Life

5

The social life here is very good. The odd semester is bit boring with only few fests,but the even sem is full of festivals and university fests. Festivals like Onam, Pongal, Christmas, vinayaka chavithi, Ugadi, holi are very well celebrated. University fests like Akanksha, Vanicom and hostel day are also good.

Hostel Facilities

2.5

Hostels are good and clean. Hostel surroundings are daily cleaned by sanitation wing. The university will provide a cot , fan , study table and chair. If you want to take Hostel room, then you must take mess facility also. The mess here is not at all good. Very poor quality food and not at all tastes good.

Admission

First you need to apply for CUET-UG examination. To enrol in this course you have to get good marks in general studies. The university will publish merit list and selected candidates list. Later they will call for spot admission if any seats are vacant after admission.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I choose Ba. BEd. history because it has professional value and also helps int he upsc exams. The curriculum revolves around practical work such as in history we learn about museums, epigraphys, manuscript and also world history which gives us a upper hand in practical work. As for bed we cover basic pedagogy, psychology and teacher development and also practical sessions, Currently there is no need in any change as it already covers both practical and theoretical domains. The frequency of exam is vast and difficulty level is medium it would be great if there is a little gap between papers

Course Curriculum Overview:

The diversity in this course is a huge attraction but uni failed to executive this course properly and when it comes to teaching method french and law were quiet good very experienced proffesors are there and political science is somewhat ok but when comes to scholar literally they will be having some ppt and they read it out that's sit you just have to make note from what he read and what you heard that's sit Talking about exam timings french and law are good they complete their syllabus and keep exams on time. Political science dept they conducted exam for us at first as we requested later they repeated the same paper to their students which totally unfair History and sociology depts literally they allot the scholars in last 1 month of the semester and the whole teaching and exams including internals and externals were conducted and completed in one month along with assignment submissions
