The Banaras Hindu University.

Placements: The university is good for studying, but in my course, the placement scene is rare. It has decent placements in institutes like IIT and IMS. So placement seen is good in these facilities. But in the reality, the placement is not that good. It has placement in foreign languages, tourism, etc. Overall, the placement is above average.

Infrastructure: Hostel facilities are also very nice. Students reside in a low number and get good facilities. The infrastructure of the hostel is also nice.

Faculty: The professors are highly knowledgeable and help students gain extra knowledge regarding subjects. Most professors had earned a PhD and completed their doctoral degrees. The question pattern is moderate, one has to get 33% marks to pass in the exam. As this university provides a bundle of subjects, there is no doubt that it has a variety of subjects to study so that one can achieve their aims.

Other: I chose this linguistics course because I want to explore more about language. Event organisation are also good here.

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.
