It is a disappointment.

Placements: Literally, no one is placed here anywhere. Last year, the highest package offered is 6 LPA. The placement cell is there, but just for the namesake, it doesn't work. The placement at IIT BHU is way higher. In a nutshell, there is no placement culture here in the Department of Economics yet. Guys who are interested more in research and policy-making come here.

Infrastructure: You get a century-old structure there. The food quality is worse, every day you get potatoes for sure in your dish. Though the outside of the room has green surroundings, but the hygiene issue is there. This also goes for the hostel mess even, cooks there don't follow proper hygiene care, and everywhere around the mess there is always a bad smell coming. There is also a lift for the disabled to go upstairs. The auditorium and the seminar room are big enough. But yes, the sound system and the video system always create problems in almost every event.

Faculty: There is no other information source other than the website, which works at god's mercy. Some professors are too good, while the majority have low knowledge, they are inexperienced, and don't know English well. The course curriculum lacks hands-on skills education, they just teach you theories.

Other: If you cannot afford a good college, do come here. The campus is much bigger and full of greenery, and this is the only positive I find here.

Fully satisfied with teachers and having an amazing campus life, but placements are not very good.

Placements: The placements of the economics department are not very good. A very few companies come to hire the candidate, and they offer a very low pay out, and out of hundreds of students, they only select two or three students. University neither take any responsibility, nor try to suggest any job to rest of the students.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of Banaras Hindu University is amazing. Every department has their own library, and a central library is there where students from any department can visit and read or issue a book. It also has a vast playground, and at every corner, you will find constables sitting for the security purpose.

Faculty: BHU has a great ambience. The teachers there are very helpful and has a great knowledge of their subjects. They often conduct an extra class for students who find difficulty in studying maths and econometrics. They finish their syllabus timely before semester exams and also give advice related to career.

Other: In BHU, we celebrate 5 days cultural fest every year which is called Spandan. Here the students display their creative side in music, in several forms of dance, drama, literature, fine arts, quiz competition and many more other things.

Faculty of Arts, Banaras Hindu University. A better alternative.

Placements: I have done my Bachelor of Arts from Banaras Hindu University and now dream of a master of arts in economics. In terms of placements, my college was not identified as good, but placements do occur. On-campus placements are not so frequent, but the value of the degree is recognised as good as compared to other colleges in India.

Infrastructure: The buildings are very old but are well equipped with all the facilities. Classrooms and big, and the campus is Wi-Fi enabled. Labs are well equipped with all machinery and facilities. Hostel facilities for boys and girls are available on the campus with mess and canteen.

Faculty: Faculty of Arts has some of the brilliant professors in the field of Economics. The course curriculum is designed to cover all the aspects of Economics. You will find this college better than any college for economics in India, and this is the reason why students from all over the country come here to study economics.

Other: Apart from studies, the university provides all the facilities for personal development of the students. University provides opportunities in different hobby courses, swimming courses, dancing, singing, instruments playing, etc. Besides this, the university also has the green environment.

Review of Banaras Hindu University .

Placements: We have total 120 student in the batch from them whoever is interested apply for internship and placement. I think 20 students get placement. I didn't apply for that so I don't have any knowledge about this. Thank you. Annual package is 10lakh average.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is good. But everyone don't get hostel for hostel one must secure good marks in the entrance exam. Facilities in hostel are like food, gizzer etc. Food are better than other hostel food. Quality of everything is very good and affordable.

Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified. They teaches really well. Curriculum is also very good. And make students for industry ready. Semester exams are moderate difficult. Pass percentage is 40. Teaching quality is good. They are helpful. Everyone is supportive.

I am satisfied with the college as it has value for money.

Placements: Roles and hiring companies vary as per the faculty and stream of specialisation. Roles offered varies from business development to content writing to positions in the banking sector. There are also provisions for research along with options in the non-profit sector.

Infrastructure: The hostel is good with Wi-Fi facility. The cleanliness in the hostels and the campus is a factor worth noting. Hostels are cleaned every day. The food served in the mess is great with a lot of options. The library has a lot of books to read.

Faculty: Teachers in our college are helpful. But the limited number of teachers was a drawback, as it led to pulling up the burden on those few teachers. Some of the subjects are taken up by research scholars who provided to be a massive support. But the course lacks practical knowledge.

Other: The course lacks in practicality. The campus is a whole new world in itself with every facility for the students.

It is an excellent college in all all aspects.

Placements: Some of the students are selected in some companies. All the students are not interested in jobs because they want to achieve a PhD to become a professor. Whereas some students want to prepare for civil services as they want to become a public servant.

Infrastructure: Our college provides excellent facilities and infrastructure in our department. Wi-Fi is available in our department and on campus also. Library, classrooms and labs facilities are awesome. Every student is always happy with the facilities and infrastructure provided by the university.

Faculty: Professors in our college are awesome, I can proudly say that they are as like a god. They are available for every student for 24x7. We can call them for any query regarding our syllabus. The course curriculum is relevant. Our syllabus is helpful to make every student a human capital.

Other: I chose this course because economics is one of the most important and relevant subjects in the world. The best thing about our course is that I came to know the real world with the help of economics.
