The best campus life one can experience.
Placements: I am doing a Master's in linguistics, which is as interesting as it sounds. My course offers many kinds of jobs, but students mostly prefer to take net exams to qualify and become professors, for which BHU also provides Ph.D. in various subjects. One must consider taking admission in BHU.
Infrastructure: BHU Wi-Fi, although it doesn't work everywhere, is quite good. The buildings get renovated very often. The central library is the main attraction for students with numerous books and information about almost everything, in a peaceful environment. You can find every facility from the hospital to the canteen to the library.
Faculty: The semester exams are too easy, and the syllabus is also good. They don't pressure the students much. It's just that they don't alert the students beforehand. Other than that, the dates of exams are also well planned. Professors give presentations and make the students industry-ready.

If you want to pursue linguistics then BHU has some of the best faculty for the subject.
Placements: Linguistics is a field of study which offers wide range of research opportunities as well as jobs. However, in India we don't have many jobs available as of now. There are some companies like Welocalize which offer job roles such as translator, linguist, lexicographer etc. But there aren't many vacancies. Computational linguistics is also a great option for jobs but one require knowledge of some programming languages and basic coding.
Infrastructure: BHU is famous for its old buildings and ancient style infrastructure. We have a central library in campus which is open for all students. Labs, classes and departments are a bit rusty but are okay. Medical facilities are at best since for students all facilities are free.
Faculty: Faculty in linguistics department are the best. They are well experienced and knowledgeable. The curriculum for Masters is well structured and follows the latest research in the field. The semester exams are moderate and one can pass easily. There are many fests organized throughout the year.

The college provides all the facilities that are required by the student.
Placements: The college doesn't provide any placements. Although the college provides a few placement opportunities, there will be no placements for our department. There were no placements for the student of the linguistics department. Some other colleges organise these programmes, and this must be initiated in BHU too.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is up to the mark, and all the facilities are available here. The entire campus is Wi-Fi enabled. Students are provided with their individual codes and ID number to use Wi-Fi. Classes are conducted in two zones; one is the old CHC building, and the other one is the new lecture theatre.
Faculty: Our faculty members are knowledgeable, qualified, and very much helpful. There is good communication between students and teachers. They are very cooperative in every situation. Time management and punctuality are given importance. Our faculty are friendly and very helpful. We have 4 teachers in our department.

M.A. in Linguistics from BHU.
Placements: Not much placements. If you opt for papers like computational linguistics then there are good chances of placements considering you have good knowledge of Python. Jobs like translators are good positions in industry other than that opportunity of professor and teacher is there.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure wise it? S good. A big campus with a lot of facilities from health centre to central and cyber library everything is there. Wi-Fi is available everywhere from library to classroom and hostel rooms. Quality of food is okay. Sports and extra curricular are in ample amount. Every hostel has its ground and one amphitheater for whole campus so there? S a scope for every kind of sports.
Faculty: Teachers are very dedicated and helpful. They are very professional and they give their 100% and that? S why they also want 100% in return. Semester exams are not very difficult you can easily score 8 CGPA if you are regular in classes and follow your teachers. You need to score 40 out of 100 to pass.
Other: Considering feels the course is definitely value for money. The feels is 1800 per semester which is very nominal considering the facilities we get in return. There are many societies for literature, dance, theatre, music and they keep organizing different events. Crowd is good because you have opportunities to interact with a number of people other than your course which is best thing about BHU.
