The placements, infrastructure and the faculty of the college are awesome.

Placements: There is an active placement cell in the university, and there are various companies including Wipro, Teach for India, and several other well-known NGOs come and offer jobs to the students from various discipline. The placement cell also keeps students up to date regarding upcoming events and interviews.

Faculty: BHU stands 3rd in HRD ranking in India's universities. And also, it stands among the topmost Asian universities. The name Banaras Hindu University itself is enough to represent you in a crowd. You name a course, and BHU is the answer, but if only you can crack the all India entrance. BHU offers not only undergraduate courses in arts, science and commerce but also postgraduate courses in all streams. It offers nursing, medicine and management courses and these faculty members itself has good ranking in their respective fields. We have got mass communication, journalism, fine arts, visual arts and literature studies in all languages. Not only that but also BHU houses IIT. And I'm sure I must be missing out on a few courses. Therefore you need to apply for yourself and find out more.

Other: What else you can ask for when you're already at the central university like BHU. We have a main annual event called Spandan, which is our very own Holi, Diwali and Eid. It is a big celebration which includes dance, drama and every other literary event and also celebrity night. Then we have particular events and fests all around the year in different facilities.
