The destination of a student.

Placements: This university gives a wide range of opportunities for students. In our batch, we are about 115 students engaged in internships. About half of the people are paid, around 26, and the other internships are most useful as they act as a foundation for a career, which are very useful. Internships from the government are also availed for the students.

Infrastructure: Almost every student gets hostel accommodation as BHI has wide residence allotment, which will be based on merit. Later, the hostel accommodation will be re-allotted according to the merit list of the semester exams. In the hostel, we can get a room allotted to two people. Individual B.Ed students get a table and chair, separate cupboards. Washrooms are common but fully furnished and hygienic, with hot water and both Indian and western toilets.

Faculty: Extraordinary faculty, especially in social sciences, always participate in national seminars. The delivery of the content is top quality. All professionals are from across the country, so there is more cultural diversity. Lectures help in understanding the reality related to the syllabus content.

Other: The sole reason to choose the course is that it usually aids UPSC preparation, and it is a good decision as it made my preparation easier, especially as I am from a Science background.

Good quality of education.

Placements: Placements for an M.A. in Public Administration are not enough. 20 to 30 percent are placed from this course, with the highest being 50k per month and the lowest being 20k per month. NGOs like Agivika and other government organizations offer internship opportunities. The roles offered in this course are to manage government organizations and work for social development.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is available in all places like in the classroom, library, and hostel. Canteen and mess are available in all hostels, and there is a health center for the students. One playground for every hostel is available for the students. The food quality in the mess is the best compared to other universities.

Faculty: Professors are well knowledgeable, and projector classes are available. This course is for the study of government organizations and how administration works. Semester exams are done properly on time, and the level of questions is moderate. 90% of students pass in this course. .

Other: For those students preparing for the civil service, this course is helpful.

Basic facilities but good degree .

Placements: There are not too many placements in my college. The average package is 4 lacks but that is too low depending on the job market and inflation. The top roles that are generally offered in this field is in public administration. No internship policies are there.

Infrastructure: Thye infrastructure is amazing but there's a lack of proper maintainence and management. The staff especially in the central office are quite rude and non cooperative. The facilities provided in the campus are outdated. Hdgdjsgsjgdh djddjhbdjjdjwdwjhdjwdhwd.

Faculty: The faculty members are highly qualified however the teaching methods are basic and not to a standard where you will learn a lot. The syllabus is also the same and hasn't changed from years. Pass percentage is quite loow, attendance is not mandatory.

I dont think so, if you are a journalism student and done your graduation in Mass Communication. Because as per my knowledge, BHU can offer you masters in Public Administration or political science, if you are graduate from the same subject. So you should think before any action. ok dear
