Should you pick BA History at Surana College?
This course suits students who want a product-company job and can live in a small industrial town for three years.
Pick it if:
You passed Class 12 in this state: half the seats are Home State, so a rank that misses the Other State list can still get in.
You want BA-linked roles, not only general office roles: the department page lists the same four product recruiters in each of the last three years.
Your family can pay only per semester: you pay the tuition fee in eight parts, and a request to split it further opens every August.
You want the fee back fast: at the average pay the full course fee comes back inside the first working year, as the ROI tile shows.
Skip it if:
You are counting on last year's closing rank: it has got tougher three years in a row, so last year's number is not a safe rank.
You need a single room from the first year: first-years share three to a room and single rooms open only from year 3.
You want internships in a big city: this is a small industrial town, so the placement cell brings most internships here.
You will wait for the last list: seats may be full by then, so apply before the first list.
Counsellor's advice
Freeze this course if first list gives it to you on a Home State rank. If you are Other State and below the first list close, float it and keep a safer college above it.

In short
Jain costs less and pays more on average, but its closing rank is about 3,000 places tougher. If your rank clears both, take Jain; if it clears only Surana College, take this seat and do not wait for the spot round.
In short
Kristu Jayanti places more of its batch but charges INR 40,000 more over three years and pays a little less. If its easier closing rank is what you need, keep it one place below Surana College in your choice list as the safer seat.
In short
Mount Carmel charges the same fee but pays about INR 1 LPA less on average and has half the seats. If Surana College gives you a seat in any round, take it; Mount Carmel belongs below it in your list, not above it.
In short
Jyoti Nivas costs a little more and pays about the same, but it has more seats and an easier closing rank. If your rank misses Surana College in the early rounds, list Jyoti Nivas right below it and take whichever comes first.
In short
St Joseph is the cheapest seat here and the easiest to get, but its average pay sits below this page's. If Surana College allots you a seat in any round, take it and keep St Joseph only as your backup.
Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.
FAQs on Surana College BA History
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is BA History at this college worth the fee?▾
Yes, for most students who get placed. The full fee without hostel is INR 1.26 Lakhs and the last batch averaged INR 3 LPA, so the fee comes back within the first working year. If a loan will pay the fee, read the EMI line in the fee block above before you decide.
Should I take this seat if my rank is just above the closing rank?▾
Not on last year's number alone. The General Home State seat closed at rank 12,400 in final list and it got tougher three years in a row, so a rank that just cleared last year may miss this year. Keep this college in your list with a safer college above it, and use the rank checker above for your own category.
What job will I get after this course?▾
Most students get roles in media, tourism, public service or higher studies with media, public service and heritage teams that hire on campus in the seventh semester. The Class of 2025 averaged INR 3 LPA, the median was INR 2.8 LPA and 92% of the batch was placed. If you want a tourism or media role instead, this course is not the right pick.
Who should not take this course here?▾
Skip it if you need a single room from the first year, or if you want internships in a big city. First-years share three to a room and single rooms open only from year 3. The campus is in a small industrial town, so the placement cell brings most internships and few come on their own. If either of these matters more than the placement figures, pick a city college.
Is this course good for higher studies and research?▾
Yes, if you plan for it from year 2. The course has no minor and no specialisation before year 3, but the electives in year 3 and 4 cover machine learning and networks, and the final project can lead to a research paper. Talk to the department in year 2 about a project with a faculty member, because that is what a good master's application needs.
Should I wait a year and try for a better rank?▾
Only if you can raise your rank by a lot, not a little. The General closing rank got tougher three years in a row, so a small gain may still miss the seat next year. If you already clear this year's cutoff, take the seat now and try a course change after year 1 if you want a sibling course.
Will I get placed if I am in the bottom half of the batch?▾
Most likely yes, but later and at a lower package. 92% of the last batch was placed, and the median of INR 2.8 LPA is lower than the average of INR 3 LPA because the last students take the smaller offers. Keep your CGPA above the cutoff the companies set, usually 7, and join the placement training the cell holds in year 3.
Is this course better than ECE at this college for me?▾
Pick History if you want a history or public service role and ECE if you want a tourism or media role. History places a bigger share of its batch with BA-linked roles, and its closing rank is the tougher of the two. If you get ECE now and want History, the course change after year 1 needs a top CGPA, so do not count on it.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
Take the Class 12 merit exam and fill this college in your Surana admission office choice list. A seat comes in the round your rank clears, and you must accept it and pay the admission fee within the days Surana admission office gives. Then report with your papers on the date in the admission dates block above, or you lose the seat.
What is the full fee for the course?▾
The full 3-year fee is INR 1.26 Lakhs without hostel. With hostel and mess it comes to INR 3.66 Lakhs. Both totals sit in the fee block above, and the toggle there shows what the hostel adds each year.
Can I pay the fee in parts?▾
Yes. You pay the tuition fee semester by semester, so the money is never due all at once. If you need smaller parts than that, write to the fee office before the semester starts; the request opens every August.
Do I get the fee back if I drop the seat?▾
It depends on when you leave. If you leave before the counselling body's exit date, most of the fee comes back. If you leave after it, the college keeps a part, so read the refund table in the fee block before you pay.
