Top notch facilities at affordable price.
Placements: 1/4th of students who secured top ranks get easy placements among top universities and top MNCs, depending on their skills. Undergraduate students who apply for internship get more opportunities due to their reputation. Top course gets better placements, however, it is mainly dependent on individual skills and academic performance..
Infrastructure: BHU has one of the best infrastructures in terms of facilities like Wi-Fi classrooms and a library. It has one of the biggest libraries with computer facilities too, which is best for students. BHU provides a good hostel with food facilities at a very reasonable price. Its also best for international students, too, as they get 1BHK hostel facilities with a very affordable price.
Faculty: All the faculty members are well qualified and experienced. The exam level depends on the subjects and course. Mostly are related to pyqs and imp questions, one can pass and score good marks by having good conceptual clarity. Some faculty didnt give marks easily. You need to present your exam answers very well to score good marks.
Other: A lot of events, fests, and seminars are conducted on different topics in BHU where students can enroll and enhance their skills, personality, and connectivity. The best part is that you find students from different regions of India as well as foreign students. So its great for connectivity.

Neutral as per the course and faculty offered, and value for money.
Placements: The college offers no direct recruitment or placement opportunities. It does have a counseling and placement group under which the students can apply for the posted job profiles by themselves, but there's no direct support from the college. Though the professors always inform about the new opportunities being available, they are always available for guidelines. Still, the college does not provide any interview opportunities or allow any companies to visit the campus directly for recruiting students. Therefore, in the placement field, the students are left on their own.
Infrastructure: The college is well developed in matters of infrastructure. It has well-developed classrooms with smart boards as well. The classrooms are well functional and there's a lift as well. The seminar hall is also well developed and conducive. A well-functioning library and cyber library. There are private hostels inside, and they offer decent food and facilities according to your choice, and there are even many events being organized by the hostel.
Faculty: Teachers of Political Science are not very great. It was good, as earlier, for 2 years, everything seemed in place, but in the third year, there was much chaos. Exams are more scheduled, and we'll conduct them, and due to the COVID batch, the exams were conducted without many gaps.
Other: The college is affiliated with Banaras Hindu University, and hence it gains much validity, and the results provided belong to BHU itself.

Banaras Hindu University was one of the most famous universities of India.
Placements: I was not sure about the placement process. My course was not eligible for placements. I was here for higher studies, and the sociology subject attracted my interest. I was not sure about others who got placed here, but I was not offered any placements. Otherwise, this college was great.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure was dope at this college. I loved it. This college was absolutely amazing. It was filled with nature and trees. I was amazed by its infrastructure. Because it had a great blend of classic and modern elements. Those who studied there had a lot of fresh air and got good vibes.
Faculty: Teachers of this college were very great. They were helpful, caring, and very highly educated. They had enough knowledge for our course and had a lot of knowledge out of the subject. Semester exams of this college were not very tough. You could study one month before the exam and get good marks. Passing percentage was 40%.

My college experience at BHU.
Placements: Only 10-20% of students got placed in my course. The lowest package is 2.5 LPA to 4.5 LPA in my course. Top recruiting companies are Tata, Mahindra, and Reliance. Mostly the students got placed in Reliance and Tata. Top roles offered are accountant and finance.

Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified and very knowledgeable. Even the teaching quality is good. The course is relevant to the industry which helps students to make them industry-ready. Semester exam is not very much difficult. The students passed the exam by studying for 1 week before the exam. Pass percentage is around 40%.
Other: I was interested in this course because I wanted to know about the economy and consumer culture. More in-hand experience will make students and course much better. The fest is organised, and the connectivity is also there. Even the scholarship is provided to the students who are in need.

very less course fee with all desirable facilities.
Placements: Only 18 students opted for History of Art in B.A. Final year, which was around 2.5% of total students admitted in my batch 2021. No such offer for undergraduate course. No recruiting companies for my course while I am studying. No one got internship from my course in my batch. .
Infrastructure: There is 24*7 Wi-Fi available. There is no such lab for undergraduate students, but Bharat Kala Bhavan is used by us as a lab. Classrooms are fully furnished with all desirable facilities. There are many libraries for students such as Central Library, Cyber Library, UG Library, and each department has a separate library.
Faculty: All the teachers are very helpful and knowledgeable and teaching quality is awesome, the curriculum is relevant. The semester exam is not too difficult, but sometimes it is challenging, almost 80-90% of students pass the semester exam.
Other: I chose this course because I come from an art background, and history is one of my favorite subjects. The best thing about this course is that we can go through history once again, exploring events that happened thousands of years ago, i hope to get a placement as an undergraduate student, events and fests are often organized by the department or faculty. The campus crowd is somewhat high in the evening, and the surroundings are very natural and friendly. Very few undergraduate students receive direct scholarships, but some other initiatives like Earn While You Learn also work for students. Extracurricular activities are held on special occasions.

Review of Vasant Kanya Mahavidyalaya.
Placements: Placements happen mostly for professional courses like management, IT, and commerce. For arts and pure Science students, there are fewer chances. The placement cell tries to guide students with training and workshops, but many prefer to continue their studies or write exams for government jobs.
Faculty: Teachers are supportive and simply explain lessons. They also share notes and sometimes discuss topics outside the syllabus. Regular attendance helps, as teachers often give important hints in class. Exams are fair and can be managed with steady study.
Other: Nice.
