The college is a balance of both - good and bad.

Placements: Many students got internships in our course. Internship opportunities came mainly from hospitals and non-profit organisations. INR 6.8 lpa is the average package offered in our course from college. 50–60% of the students get placed at the completion of the course. Many opportunities are provided during the course.

Infrastructure: College has free Wi-Fi and a library. The library has a lot of books. Almost all of the books for my class are available in the library. Classrooms are also good. Our college's hostel is above average, and the food is delicious. Medical facilities are also provided.

Faculty: Teachers are really helpful. There is also an IIT graduate professor in college. Semester exams are a bit difficult, pass percentage is near 70 %. Teachers motivate us to join an NGO and to do an internship. They also help us apply for internships and keep us up to date.

Other: I am interested in the psychology field, especially clinical psychology, and that's why I opted for this course. I wish there would be less theory and more practical application to studying.

It has the best infrastructure. All professors are good and helpful.

Placements: At this level, we will not get the best job, and we need a more professional diploma or a degree. For the internship, there is a good experience. We learn good and knowledgeable things. I got good marks, and I scored 8.88 CGPA in my master's degree.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is very good, and the environment is also amazing. All facilities are available for students like hospitals, doctors, and medicines. It has a well-organised library and a cyber library. Good and healthy food is available near campus and outside campus too.

Faculty: All teachers are helpful, well-qualified, and knowledgeable. All teachers have good teaching experience, and their quality is superb. Overall, things are good here. Semester exams are also good, and the timing is also good. According to the environment, exams are held morning in the summer and afternoon in the winter.

Other: It conducts all types of activities according to your interest. The campus surroundings are awesome.

I am absolutely satisfied because of the availability of various facilities.

Placements: Only 30 to 40% of the students from our course got placed. Google, NGOs, schools and some other companies are recruiting students from our course. Around 60 to 70% of the students got internships from our course in various HR companies, NGOs, schools, hospitals, etc. The highest salary package for students in our course is 4 to 5 LPA.

Infrastructure: Our college has a good infrastructure for students, and there is a separate department for every course. Separate hostels are also available for students who come from long distance. Many more facilities are available for students like Wi-Fi, labs, medical, mess, library, etc.

Faculty: Highly educated teachers are available to teach and provide guidance at our university. Teachers cover full syllabus on time and provide a path to prepare. They teach through both traditional and modern method. The course includes every subject, and courses are sufficient for making a career in various fields.

Other: I have chosen this course to build my career in the HR field. Events, fest, etc., organised here help in maintaining our personality. Scholarships are also available for economically weaker students.

I am disappointed with the college because we don't get placements for this course.

Placements: There are no placement opportunities in BHU for the MA in Psychology course. Paid seats are higher for other affiliated colleges which come under BHU. Faculty members in other colleges are not good and are strict enough. Placements are only available for IIT-BHU students.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is nice. The campus is huge and good. The campus has a clean environment, and there are many big lawns which are clean and well-maintained. Every department has different buildings. The campus is lush green.

Faculty: Faculty members in the college are supportive and helpful. They make us learn new things. They are cooperative. They conduct a lot of workshops, and we learn about different areas of psychology through different professors, which will be very helpful for us later.

The college provides us with each needed things, but they need to organise seminars.

Placements: The college doesn't provide any placements in the psychology department. To get placed in any clinic or hospital, we need to complete M.Phil or PhD. The college doesn't get any hospitals or clinics officials for placements as it won't be beneficial. The faculty do grant us for internships.

Infrastructure: There are good classrooms in the college, and we do have smart classes. There is a library which has the best books which we get referred to read. The campus is eco-friendly. There are the best security persons and staff to manage the department. There is an average canteen which doesn't have varieties in foods.

Faculty: Faculty are well educated, friendly, and punctual. They provide notes and refer the best books to study materials and self-study. Faculty teach us with the help of smart class and verbal method. We don't get exposure. Faculty don't plan any seminars, any hospital or clinic visit for students.
