Nalanda University Review

I love Nalanda University. It is one the best universities in India and the courses are very good. Plus, the teachers are very helpful. I made a lot of friends and had a great time in the hostel too.

Being a history course, the syllabus was very lengthy and complicated but that is how it is. There were a lot of subjects that needed a lot of studying and research. Exams were comprehensive and the course curriculum covered everything that came in the exams.

Being a theoretical course, there are not a lot of placement opportunities. The student generally go for either PhD or B.Ed courses after finishing masters. Although there are internships that students can get as researchers.

The fees for my batch was 67,000 per year. Since this was a two years course the total amount that I had to pay just for tuition was approximately 1.3 lakhs. I feel its quite economical when it comes to a masters degree.

Extracurricular activities included music, dance and sports. there were a lot of competitions held in our college where other colleges also came to participate. It was fun to do other activities along with studying.

The hostels are decent. they are clean and hygienic. there is always a warden present to take care of us. The hostels are fenced properly and there are guards who make us feel safe. There are different hostels for boys and girls.

M.A in Historical Studies has fairly simple admission criteria. All you have to do is fill up the online for on the University's website and have to have a graduation marks of more than 60%. The final selection happens after interview.

The faculty was very knowledgeable and smart. The history professors taught us how to remember dates and facts in a very easy way. they were very helpful both inside and outside class. They gave appropriate notes for most subjects that helped a lot during exams.
