Good infrastructure and teachers.
Placements: BBAU provides no placements for journalism courses though they have an active placement cell which helps students to gain placements in other courses of management. Even there are no internship opportunities for journalism, every student has to gain internship from outside by themselves. The placements here is below average and even for other courses, they get a package of 3 to 4 lakhs only.
Infrastructure: BBAU provides well furnished and well centralised classrooms for its students. They have a central library, an auditorium for various functions, a good canteen with tasty food, medical facilities, sports and games courts and so on. They have a Wi-Fi facility too. The university has separate facilities of hostels for boys and girls, and well-equipped, big grounds. They also have separate labs for studies and experiments.
Faculty: Teachers are well qualified and as it is a central university, teachers here are of good experience background. They generally teach keeping in mind their experience of industries and the scope and importance of each chapter. Our course was well-designed and we were given practical knowledge about photography, videography and radio jockey which was very useful to us. Though we didn't get industry exposure, it was fun learning in BBAU.

Really good infrastructure and facilities.
Placements: There is no special provision for placement but they provide you internships which can be fruitful. Rest depends on you and your abilities to crack different jobs. Almost all of the students get to do internship in their last year which is compulsion.
Infrastructure: College has got good infrastructure with a campus stretched beyond 2 kms it has got central library along with open gym, hostel facilities, atm, canteen and all important stuffs are present over there. College has got Wi-Fi system installed with good speed.
Faculty: Teachers of the college are really helpful and can help you in best possible ways and are quite interactive and helping in nature. The quality of education is really good. Ultimately they make you capable to combat in modern day work culture which is good.
Other: Quite economical college.

College was pretty fine, value for money, but average compared to good media colleges.
Placements: Hardly 10% of students got placed. The highest package was 3.6 LPA, and the lowest was 2.2 LPA. Only 5 out of 50 students got placement, that too on the professor's personal favors and relations. So, you have to prepare and place yourself by searching for a decent job on your own, otherwise, it is tough here.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi and labs were available, but we rarely had lab visits. The hostels were nice with average food. There were many hostels, only students from outside Uttar Pradesh got a hostel here, so be prepared for hostel and mess expenses if you are from Uttar Pradesh itself.
Faculty: The teachers were pretty helpful, and the teaching quality was good. Semester exams were not so difficult, and one can easily pass them with little hindrance, with around 90% pass outs. Just develop skills and don't worry much about marks and academics.
Other: It was a very low fee structure as it is a central university. More lab visits would be good, and that's a good thing.
