Should you pick MA History at Savitribai Phule Pune University?

This course suits students who want a teaching and research job and can live in a large university city for two years.

Pick it if:
You passed graduation in this state: half the seats are SPPU, so a score that misses the Other University list can still get in.
You want teaching and research roles, not only service IT: the NIRF table shows PG students enter teaching, research and higher studies.
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 score: it has got tougher three years in a row, so last year's number is not a safe score.
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 large university city, so the placement cell brings most internships here.
You will decide only after the OEE result result: the CCEP choice window closes within days of it, so fill your forms before the result comes.
Counsellor's advice
Take this course if the first merit list gives it to you. If you miss it, wait for the second list before paying elsewhere.

In short
Mumbai University costs more and has a lower published pay number. If SPPU lists you first, take this seat; keep Mumbai only if you need the city.
In short
SNDT is close on fee but has fewer seats and lower pay. If your score clears SPPU, keep this page above it.
In short
Shivaji is cheaper, but its pay and placement rate are lower here. If both list you, pick SPPU for the stronger university record.
In short
BAMU is cheaper and easier on score, but the pay line is lower. Choose it only if the SPPU score is out of reach.
In short
RTMNU has more seats but lower pay and placement rate. If SPPU offers the seat, take it before looking at Nagpur.

Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.

FAQs on Savitribai Phule Pune University MA History

Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.

Is MA History at this college worth the fee?▾
Yes, for most students who get placed. The full fee without study travel is INR 16,600 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 score is just above the closing score?▾
Not on last year's number alone. The General SPPU seat closed at score 75 in second merit list and it got tougher three years in a row, so a score that just cleared last year may miss this year. Keep this college in your list, and use the score checker above for your own category.
What job will I get after this course?▾
Most students get teaching, research and museum jobs with schools, colleges and research projects that hire on campus. The Class of 2025 averaged INR 3 LPA, the median was INR 3 LPA and 43% of the batch was placed. If you want a quick corporate job, check the placement line before you say yes.
Who should not take this course here?▾
Skip it if you need a full-time classroom course, or if you want a corporate placement route. This page is for the part-time MA History course, and the placement rate printed above is 43%. If you need a regular daily campus course, check the department before you pay.
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 score?▾
Only if you can raise your score by a lot, not a little. The General closing score 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 score range, take the seat now and ask the department about paper choices later.
Will I get placed if I am in the bottom half of the batch?▾
Most likely yes, but later and at a lower package. 43% of the last batch was placed, and the median of INR 3 LPA is lower than the average of INR 3 LPA because the last students take the smaller offers. Keep your CGPA above the score range the companies set, usually 7, and join the placement training the cell holds in year 3.
Is History better than Political Science for me here?▾
Pick History if you want archives, teaching or research work. Pick Political Science only if your plan is public policy or civil service optional papers. This page shows 66 History seats and a 43% placement rate. If your goal is unclear, read both syllabi before you fill CCEP forms.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
Take the OEE exam and fill this college in your CCEP choice list. A seat comes in the round your score clears, and you must accept it and pay the admission fee within the days CCEP 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 2-year fee is INR 16,600 without study travel. With study travel and books it comes to INR 40,600. Both totals sit in the fee block above, and the toggle there shows what the study travel 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.

Which is better for doing an MBA, Christ University, Bangalore, or Pune University (PUMBA)?

Aditi BanerjeeLives in Bangalore

Christ Deemed-to-be University offers PG MBA programs and MBA integrated courses in collaboration with overseas universities. The highest offer was INR 21.46 LPA in the 2022 placement report.

Christ University's International Student Exchange program gives students global exposure. It offers this option for students to learn from peers abroad.

Pune University Department of Management Sciences offers a two-year MBA in Marketing, Finance, Systems, HR, and Operations. This department's flagship six-trimester program enrolls 180 students. The highest offer was INR 18 LPA in the 2022 placement report.

The top reasons to choose PUMBA are

  • ROI: MBA returns in India are decent. PUMBA is excellent. Its two-year tuition is Rs. 135,000. Last year's PUMBA average salary was Rs 5.5 lakh. The top 50% of packages exceed 6.5 lakhs. In Mumbai and Delhi, where staying and touring for two years exceeds tuition fees, other universities offer this ROI.
  • An Underdog: 6 of 9 students thought the college would contribute nothing to my experience and qualifications. But now I know my maximum value will be here. My friends who joined before and after us are the same. 
  • Faculty support: PUMBA grads have earned finance certifications while attending the classes. B-school's busy timetable makes such time luxury challenging. PUMBA promote such certificates and allows you to study for them during lectures. One faculty member explained additional certificates in different domains during induction. 
  • City institute name: Pune's schools and institutions are prominent in India. Its management school reputation is low. However, the city has several company offices. PUMBA is practically every company's first choice for Pune-based management recruitment.

Which math M1 M2 or M3 is hard in the engineering course in Pune University?

Riya BanerjeeB.E Computer Science & Computer Programming,Savitribai Phule Pune University (2016)

Ony of my sisters is a part of Pune University and as per what she mentions, it is best that you practice the fundamental mathematical problems. Additionally, the best advice is not to get drained anytime at all while studying the subject.

Now, when shifting focus to your question, 

  • M1 incorporates basic algebra and is deemed pretty simpler than usual. 
  • On the other hand, M2 might still be difficult, yet it can however be aced if you practice the basics of integration and derivation.
  • In the case of M3, the course entirely depends upon the fundamentals you have earlier prepared for M2. 
  • After a brief elaboration, it is best that you rather choose preparing for M2, because it can contribute to making the subject quite easier. 

The study standpoint is curated as per the syllabus, and is best if you follow the pattern in accordance with it.
