Except for the mess, everything is wonderful.
Placements: I am pursuing a B.A. in Geography Hons in the Faculty of Arts, BHU. I don't think there are any placements for Geo Hons in the Arts Faculty; however, there are placements for Economics Hons in the Faculty of Social Science. I heard there are placements only for Foreign Language in the Arts Faculty. The Faculty of Social Science is better than the Arts Faculty if you are pursuing subjects like History, Economics, Geography, or Sociology. There are 60+ students alone in the Arts Faculty Geography Hons batch and 70+ in Social Science and in the Institute of Science. However, if you are good in studies, you will definitely have a better future. In BHU, there is a well-planned infrastructure for any field, which may be needed by any student.
Infrastructure: There are many libraries in each hostel, in each department, and in each faculty. There is also a central library. The library facilities are outstanding, but the mess and canteen need improvement. You will have to face a little difficulty with food. You can visit many messes, compare their food, and then choose a mess that suits your food requirements. Excluding the mess, allthe facilities are fantastic, and I don't think there are any loopholes.
Faculty: Yes, teachers are helpful and knowledgeable. However, if you are being taught by scholars, you may find it hard to understand the concepts as they are still practicing. Scoring full marks in tests and exams is tough because the questions are structured in such a way.
Other: There are many tests, regular programs, workshops, sessions, and seminars.
