It is the best college to provide every facility at a low cost.
Placements: About 60% of the students got placed. MNC companies offered the salary package, and internships are also good. About 60% of the students got an internship in our course. Mainly students got placed in ONGC. We are highly appreciated and excited to sit in the placement cell, which is new for us and get new experience.
Infrastructure: I think our college has the best facilities in the world. They provide Wi-Fi with a high-speed without any problems, and labs are the best. Food is good, and I think all facilities are good. The library is good to use, and all books are available in the library, including all old books.
Faculty: Teachers used good techniques to teach, and they are knowledgeable. They provide all notes as we all need, and all teachers are highly educated and experienced. In Banaras Hindu University, many teachers are available for each subject who are available to teach us.
Other: I have chosen this course because this stream provides good placements. Some improvements are required in food, hostel and organisations of the festival system.

Review of BHU - Banaras Hindu University.
Placements: Some of the companies such as ONGC, Vedanta and CIL visit for the department of geology, BHU for campus placements. In the previous year, ONGC visited the campus, but they did not allow geology students because BHU does not offer placements for M.Sc or applied geology degrees at present. However, Vedanta visits our college every year for placements.
Infrastructure: Roads inside BHU are full and are fair throughout. However, it is good for the hospital and medical college. The campus in BHU is very peaceful, and infrastructure is very good. The campus is Wi-Fi enabled and also has a central library which is open for 24 hours for students.
Faculty: Our department is unique in the country. It has competent and distinguished faculty members in almost all branches of geology, mineralogy, crystallography structure and tectonics. The department of geology is related to remote sensing.

I am absolutely satisfied because of the good placements.
Placements: Placements are pretty average in the science field. If we have completed only the B.Sc then there is negligible scope for placements but after a master's degree, there is a huge opportunity. The best placement departments are in fields like computer science, statistics, and geology.
Infrastructure: The architecture of BHU is very old. It is vast and provides a whole new sphere of greenery. There is a Wi-Fi connection all over the campus. There is a need for maintenance in the social science department, but overall according to the fee charge, it is very good.
Faculty: Apart from professors from my department, they are very helpful and generous. Semester exams are up to the mark of the syllabus. There is only one drawback that the staff members are very slow working and rude to students.
Other: Currently, I am pursuing a Bachelor of Science in earth science. Banaras Hindu University has a very good reputation for placements in this field. I would want them to keep more advanced instruments and provide more practical knowledge. Banaras Hindu University provides ample opportunities with lots of fest, events, etc.

College was satisfactory in terms of infrastructure and faculty while placement was not available .
Placements: There were no placements available for science graduate students. Placements were available only for M.sc or M.sc (tech) or professional courses. Internships were available in own and other department also. Teachers encourage for doing internships under their guidance.
Infrastructure: Classrooms are good with all basic facilities, books are available most of the i time in libraries , medical facilities were poor and Wi-Fi was available while lab could be better in terms of infrastructure. Parking was available for cycle, bikes and cars, even for students.
Faculty: All the Faculty were PhD holders, cooperative and interactive and had full support . Blackboard , PPT , Models were used as a teaching method. Student to faculty ratio 60 /15 . There were geological tour organised every year , which involve visit to mining areas and different geological exposures. Course curriculum was good but practicals were repetitive and very boring.
Other: College campus was good with a healthy environment with lots of activities going on every week , seminars and workshop were use to held in different department on different topics . Fest were organised at college and intercollege level in a highly competitive environment.

Absolutely satisfied with everything.
Placements: Placements after B.Sc. (Hons) Geology are not great, but with higher studies and M.Sc., the chances increase a lot. A Ph.D. also increases the chances of placements. Both government and private sector jobs are available, such as in GSI, ONGC, and the private sector for mining and geoscientists. UPSC opportunities are also available. The private sector usually focuses on foreign placements, which have high income potential. In the home country, the private sector is not well developed, but government-owned sectors are also lucrative. Overall, placements depend on the students’ quality of knowledge and skills.
Infrastructure: FMC hostel has a good mess with all types of vegetarian and non-vegetarian food. You can get all kinds of food. Washing machines and other facilities are also available. Two people stay in one room in the FMC Girls' Hostel. Washrooms, mess, and hostel rooms are clean. The hostel staff's behavior is friendly and kind.
Faculty: Teachers are good, classes are regular, along with proper lab sessions and well-equipped labs. Teaching quality is good, and teachers are always available to solve doubts, guide students, and help them. The course curriculum is relevant, and proper classes help students score well in semester exams. Only the B.Sc. course does not make students industry-ready. Further studies are needed, and students must focus on honing their skills. The pass percentage is around 25-80%.
