B.Sc. (Hons.) in Biology - Batch of 2025

Offered by Banaras Hindu University

1Placements5Infrastructure4Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

The best on-campus experience across the country.

Placements: It is not a technical course, so placements are almost nil. Yet, coaching classes are available. Top recruiting companies include Aakash and Physics. Placement records are strong for certain departments, such as the Department of Geophysics.

Infrastructure: Classes and hostels are well-built with Wi-Fi connectivity and RO water facilities. Medical services are available at two levels, one exclusively for students, and the second at Sir Sundarlal Hospital. The grounds provide facilities for various sports, and the library is simply unmatched.

Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified and experienced. Teaching quality varies from teacher to teacher, but overall, it is good. The syllabus is relevant for exams like IIT JAM, CUET PG, and other postgraduate entrance exams. Semester exams are more challenging compared to those at other institutions.

Other: We lack a fest culture, but there is strong connectivity between seniors and juniors. We have a "bhaiya-didi" culture with seniors, instead of addressing them as "sir" or "madam." Various scholarships are provided by BHU, as well as by different state governments.

BHU overview : you'll get to know more about it.

Placements: Placement opportunities are very low in this stream. We get placements after our post-graduation sometimes. A bachelor's degree is not enough in this field; you need to excel more in this field in order to get placed.

Infrastructure: The facilities provided here in campus is some of the best in India. They'll provide you with lots of facilities, like free transportation in campus for girls, mostly in bus form, a huge temple, hospital access via health card, a library with almost every book you need, playgrounds, a gym, a swimming pool facility, etc.

Faculty: Faculty members here at BHU are well educated and mostly have doctoral or post-doctoral degrees. The curriculum is based on your subject and it's not that hard and fast, according to students and can be read by anyone who has qualified for the for the 12th standard in this particular stream.

Other: BHU is highly recommended in order to study; you'll get a better experience there.

The campus is good. The environment is great.

Placements: If you are doing a B.Sc. Then you should not think about direct placements you have to do at least an M.Sc. To get placement. Many of our seniors used to do M.Sc. From biotechnology and get the college placement so basically you have to do your B.Sc. Honesty and you should choose M.Sc. Wisely.

Infrastructure: The new NLTC is now here for us as it is new then definitely it is fascinating and the classrooms are good. You will get a feeling that you are in a good college. The hostel is good, and the rooms are great. There are various sports grounds for playing anything you want.

Faculty: Teachers are very helpful. They are very knowledgeable as they are researchers also. The course curriculum is good there is an extra subject that is also there from semester 2. Sometimes it feels a bit tiring but it is okay. For the semester exams, you have to be honest with yourself and cannot take them lightly.

Other: I choose this college because of its name and I get the worth of it. The teachers are great just we have to get going with them. Several events were organized regularly and every festival is celebrated with high energy.

Absolutely worthy.

Placements: There is no placement. No package. Neither the highest nor the lowest placement. No recruiting companies anyway. Very few candidates get internships from companies and the government. Through this course, your field is open for doing approximately everything like intern assistance, etc. But the world is open for you.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is very good, Wi-Fi, library, and other basic facilities are available. Hostel rooms are in very bad condition, mess situation is average, and changing mess is possible. But the point is that you can eat in any hostel's mess on a daily paying basis or monthly basis. Sports competitions run throughout the whole year in variation and all types.

Faculty: Teachers are good in teaching, qualified too, and regular. There is no industry-ready course. Exams are quite hard and always cover the whole syllabus with 40% passing marks. Very few students face backlogs in semester exams. The environment for other competitive exams is ready.

Other: It's a very good university, but I suggest you come only if you really want to grow yourself in this field. Events, fests, extracurricular activities, scholarships—approximately everything is here.

Unforgettable campus life and top-quality education.

Placements: Mainly, few students with a combination of Geology or Chemistry are placed, and for the B.Sc. programme, one or two companies come in some years. In 2022, 5 students of the Geology department were placed at 25 LPA. Mainly, companies related to biological surveys offer a few internships. The main internship opportunities are ongoing research in college. More common roles are lab assistants.

Infrastructure: The whole campus is equipped with free-of-cost Wi-Fi. There is a central library, cyber library, and departmental libraries. Classrooms are equipped with blackboards, projectors, fans, and have good ventilation. Labs are very well organized, and they provide a separate microscope to each student. IMS BHU provides free-of-cost medical facilities to BHU students. There are many playgrounds and also many sports fests.

Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified, and most of them are educated from abroad. In BHU, B.Sc. programmes with subjects like Industrial Microbiology and Vocational Chemistry are very helpful to get a job in an industry or commercial labs. Semester exams are tough compared to other universities, but if you are taking daily classes, you can easily deal with the question paper. The passing criteria are 4 CGPA, and the passing percentage is above 90 percent.

Other: My subject combination was Chemistry, Industrial Microbiology, and Botany, which is a very good combination for the bio group to get industrial and lab knowledge.
