Banaras Hindu University was one of the most famous universities of India.
Placements: I was not sure about the placement process. My course was not eligible for placements. I was here for higher studies, and the sociology subject attracted my interest. I was not sure about others who got placed here, but I was not offered any placements. Otherwise, this college was great.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure was dope at this college. I loved it. This college was absolutely amazing. It was filled with nature and trees. I was amazed by its infrastructure. Because it had a great blend of classic and modern elements. Those who studied there had a lot of fresh air and got good vibes.
Faculty: Teachers of this college were very great. They were helpful, caring, and very highly educated. They had enough knowledge for our course and had a lot of knowledge out of the subject. Semester exams of this college were not very tough. You could study one month before the exam and get good marks. Passing percentage was 40%.
