Honest review of Babu Banarasi Das University from a B.Tech 2nd-year student.

Placements: Placements are not very good. I believe hardly 5-10 percent of students got seats in placements because there are strict rules, like CGPA should be good and all. The average salary that the companies that come to the campus offer is around 2 LPA-3 LPA maximum, and 20-25 students cross 5 LPA-8 LPA from B.Tech CSE.

Babu Banarasi Das University is a good university.

Placements: The placement rate at my college is average. I think 60 percent of the students got placements this year. Every student only gets normal packages. Only some students get the highest-package jobs, and local companies only hire from my college. The roles students get are mainly in sales.

The overall college is good.

Placements: I was not talking about the overall placement. The overall placement was good, but for my department, the placement was very bad. Only one company visited our college, but it did not conduct the interview. The placement cell needed to look into this issue.
