Basic facilities but good degree .
Placements: There are not too many placements in my college. The average package is 4 lacks but that is too low depending on the job market and inflation. The top roles that are generally offered in this field is in public administration. No internship policies are there.
Infrastructure: Thye infrastructure is amazing but there's a lack of proper maintainence and management. The staff especially in the central office are quite rude and non cooperative. The facilities provided in the campus are outdated. Hdgdjsgsjgdh djddjhbdjjdjwdwjhdjwdhwd.
Faculty: The faculty members are highly qualified however the teaching methods are basic and not to a standard where you will learn a lot. The syllabus is also the same and hasn't changed from years. Pass percentage is quite loow, attendance is not mandatory.

I dont think so, if you are a journalism student and done your graduation in Mass Communication. Because as per my knowledge, BHU can offer you masters in Public Administration or political science, if you are graduate from the same subject. So you should think before any action. ok dear
