Review of M.A. (Political Science), Banaras Hindu University.
Placements: I am from the faculty of social science students. My course is M.A. (Political Science). As there is not much opportunity in my course for placement, some students join placement cells organized by departments to get placement in various sectors and get paid based on the work.
Infrastructure: I live in Raja Ram Mohan Roy Hostel, which is exclusively allotted to postgraduate students. My course is political science. In my course, there are approximately 130 students who get admission, and every student gets access to the library and Wi-Fi facilities.
Faculty: Teachers are very good and well qualified. There are five papers in my course. For five papers, approximately 10 teachers are provided to teach the papers. It means two teachers teach one paper. They complete their courses on time, are student-friendly, and take extra classes as well when needed.
Other: I chose political science because I completed my graduation from this stream and wanted to choose political science as my career option.
