Remarks
The college is excellent in academics and also provides extracurricular events and seminars for a holistic personal development. It is a great place if you want to focus on academics as well as explore other fields of your interest.
Course Curriculum Overview
The course curriculum is fairly varied and covers almost all major events. It is an excellent choice for someone who wishes to continue further studies in history, or wants to crack competitive exams. There are a total of six semesters with papers in Indian and World History covering time periods from Proto-history to the Modern History of India and the world. There are papers on historical thoughts and events, which is really commendable. The exam structure is semester based and consists of conventional written tests.
Placement Experience
There are no placement cells in the college, and the college does not provide internships. Unfortunately, BA History Hons is not a course that leads to direct campus placements and therefore the college cannot provide placements.
Fee Structure And Facilities
The college has a very low fee structure which is affordable, and worth much more than it receives. The per semester fee is less than a thousand rupees, and is very little compared to what other colleges charge for the same course.
Fees and Financial Aid
Although the fee structure is affordable for a majority of the students, the college provides full-free and half-free studentship for students who cannot afford it. There are also other scholarships for which you can apply (Kanyashree (K2), Swami Vivekananda Merit Cum-Mean Scholarship,and National Scholarship).
Campus Life
There are extracurricular activities and cultural and sports events all through the year, and seminars on a regular basis. The college publishes its own magazine, and invites contributions from all students. The campus is fairly tolerant of ethnicity, race and religion.
Admission
The BA History Hons program taught in the Raniganj Girls College focuses on introducing you to all the major periods in Indian and World History, of all the three time periods, i.e. ancient, medieval and modern. The admission is strictly on the basis of merit. In the beginning of the academic year, you can fill up the application form and the college publishes a merit list of students selected for admission. If your name appears in the list, you are required to report to the college with the appropriate documentation.
Faculty
The faculty is good, well-trained and approachable. There are two professors and the rest are government approved ad-hoc teachers, with good qualifications. There is an interactive environment in the class and the teachers encourage independent thinking.
