Really good infrastructure and faculty members.
Placements: Placement ratio is good enough. Mostly students get placements when they get nice marks in their academics. TCS and legal firms hire brilliant minds. The highest salary package offered is 12 LPA till now in a law firm. Around 70-80% of students got placed.
Infrastructure: Campus is brilliant and an extravaganzous for students. Campus is very eco-friendly and has lots of trees and greenery all around. Wi-Fi setup classes are there with high-speed internet connectivity. Modernized labs are there with modern equipment. Hostel is also nice. Food quality is good and cleanliness is there.
Faculty: Faculty members are very good. They are supportive and student-friendly. Professors are well-qualified and helpful. They are too much knowledgeable in their respective field. Course makes students industry ready like LL.B. or fine arts. Semester exams are good, their difficult level is also good. Pass percentage is 70-85%.
Other: Overall campus is good. Security is also very good here. A large area on campus allows a better experience for students to explore.

It is the best place for aspirants.
Placements: Placements are not provided in our course after graduation. Students get placements if they pursue a diploma in remote sensing with good salary packages in the government sector.
Infrastructure: Classrooms are big and well-ventilated with a capacity of 200 students. Wi-Fi facility is provided on the campus. Libraries and labs are available. Practical classes are interesting with all the equipment. All the facilities like the mess, canteen, medical facilities, sports ground, swimming pool, etc., are available to every student.
Faculty: The course curriculum is relevant to general examinations like CUCET or UPSC. It includes all the basics and advanced-level topics of geography. Professors and mentors are good and well-qualified. Semester exams are not tough. Around 2-3% of students fail.
Other: I chose this course because of my interest in geography. I am an aspirant and this course helps me a lot in achieving my dreams. More equipment should be provided for the practical so that it would be easier to understand the concepts. Events and fests are organised in our college. Campus surroundings are beautiful with a lot of trees and crowd.

An aesthetic place for enhancement of your knowledge and you.
Placements: There are massive placements in BHU. You will love the placement here. Many of my seniors got placed at big companies like Flipkart, Google, Amazon, and more. So, if you want a sure placement, you must enroll yourself in here. This is one of the best colleges of India.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of BHU is really aesthetic. If you will come here and you want to just feel the real college or aesthetic college, it is really nice to see the college as it is made. The buildings are really old but they are maintained and they are in really good condition. If you come here you will be in love with this place.
Faculty: All the teachers teaching here are really professionals. They had been to the best universities of India and then they came here for teaching. As they are so helpful, the semester exams are not really hard because the teachers really well and we do it with fun.

Our college is great value for money.
Placements: The placements in our university for the course B.A. are quite low. The salary package is not that much when you compare it with Delhi University or Jawaharlal Nehru University. But still, it provides you with many opportunities through which you can earn a good amount.
Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure available for our course are quite good. It can be upgraded for better output. There are no proper hygienic toilets. The buildings are quite old. Renovation work has not been carried out as much as it should be. The food of mess is good value for money.
Faculty: Some of the teachers are helpful, whereas some don't know how to teach properly. The teachers appointed are highly qualified. The course curriculum is not that relevant. Semester exams are easy to moderate. You will easily pass the exams if you listen carefully to the teacher.
