Minimum Marks
Passed 10+2 / HSC with at least 40% aggregate marks. No specific subject requirements.
Placements are Sparse
Only 12% of the 2025 batch saw campus placements. Recruiters are niche—Tourism, Archives, and Civil Services Coaching. If you’re chasing a corporate paycheck right after graduation, this isn’t the shortcut. Think of this degree as a launchpad for UPSC, MA History, teaching, or heritage-sector gigs.
The verdict
Worth considering
Pick this if you want a ridiculously affordable, academically rigorous UG degree from a NAAC ‘A’ institution and plan to funnel it into civil services, higher studies, or heritage careers. Skip it if you expect high campus placement rates or a corporate starting salary.
