Overall this is the best college with no politics and full of studious students.
Placements: 10% to 20% of students get the job I don't know about package and all because I am still jobless. No internships are offered officially by the college. Placement cell are present and many companies visit our college but for our course, many companies are not interested.
Infrastructure: The facility and infrastructure are very good. Classrooms, a library, and a central library are also present here with a big playground indoors and the largest campus in India Sai sports are a part of the game. All games are offered including hockey. Wi-Fi, labs, and digital library are also there with high tech in it.
Faculty: The teachers are well-qualified and knowledgeable. Course curriculum is relevant. 40% is the pass percentage. There are a lot of faculty present. All fields are available here IGMS IIT, nursing law, and B.Ed every field is available and the exams are available no cheating is allowed but the papers are of average type.
Other: To get used to the preparation of tough exams most of the students here are aspirants of competitive exams. Events and fests are conducted on a regular basis.

As we know nothing is perfect, college is just like that.
Placements: The placement of students depends on what they are studying and what knowledge they have. The highest placements are of students with foreign. Placements for the remaining courses do come but what happens is that they have such low salaries that no one joins him quickly, and there are so many conditions that he is almost.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the course is very good. The courses are very good, you get to learn many things from them and in the extracurricular, you study some languages, attend seminars, and there are many types of camping. The hostels are good but we cannot call them very good. There is no mess in some hostels like Birla Hostel.
Faculty: There are many faculty members and there are many courses in them too but some have a lot of proof and some are familiar while some are the very scary type like some give very good marks in the exam and they don't give any exact. Exams almost always last for a month and the exam schedule troubles you as they are not made very well. What I mean to say is that there is never a gap between exams. So sometimes there is a gap of 10-15 days.

The best college so far.
Placements: Most of the students choose to pursue higher studies, and some have started preparing for government exams like UPSC, SSC, Railways, and many more. BHU B.A. courses offer prestige and academic depth, but on-campus placements are limited. Students must actively build skills.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available all over the campus, be it in the classrooms or the hostels. Separate labs are assigned for different subjects. Each branch has its own department. The central library is situated in the middle of the campus. It contains lac of books on all subjects.
Faculty: Teachers are very friendly and helpful in nature. They are all qualified with Ph.D. The course curriculum is relevant, exactly how it should be for the students. The semester exams aren't very hard. It's hard to fail in the exams, but it's also not very easy to gain more than 90 percent.
Other: The course I'm pursuing is Archaeology. Here, practical work is also done. So far, I haven't come across anything that needs to be improved. There are many events that happen on the campus, some annually like Spandan, the annual cultural fest.

It has the best infrastructure. Placements are not very influential and can be improved further.
Placements: A maximum of students get placed in the M.A. The highest package is 26 LPA. The average package ranges from 6-8 LPA, and the lowest package is 2 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Kyndryl and Accenture. 10-20% of students get placements from campus, but a maximum of students get placed after a master's. Arts faculty members provide the best opportunity, but need more improvement.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, and the library are available both in the college and the hostel for free. My hostel doesn't have a regular mess or canteen. It is not an issue because there are more than 60 hostels in BHU. We can have a meal in any hostel. Medical facilities are free for all students. Sports facilities are provided for free. Games are held at some intervals.
Faculty: All teachers are highly qualified, but corruption is there. The course curriculum is not relevant, and the quality is fine. The course curriculum is relevant, and it makes students industry-ready. Semester exams are moderate, but checking is hard. The pass percentage is 70-80%. To pass exams, students should get approximately 8 CGPA.
Other: My course is geography, and it was my right decision to take it. I get an overall knowledge of everything. My course is fine, but other courses should improve their facilities. All the above things are available in BHU.

This college is the best, depending on the course you choose. Don't get into if you want placement.
Placements: In my course, which is bachelor's in Arts, there isn’t any specific package that is offered. But some students might get jobs in fields like translation or writing, where the average package is 3 LPA to 5 LPA. The chances of selection are very low. Only one to two percent of students get selected here. Roles offered are translator, copywriter, etc.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is not that great, whereas other courses offer the best facilities possible. Classrooms are not that well. There is not a comfortable environment overall. They need to improve a lot regarding this. The library is decent, and the quality of content you get is the best. Teachers are supportive, but it depends on their mood.
Faculty: Teachers are qualified enough and knowledgeable as well. All the classes are running smoothly in my department, which is English. Every doubt they try to solve for us. I don't think the curriculum in my course is that relevant. You have to be curious about other parts as well besides college and learn about new things and new trends.
