A glimpse of Master of Arts in Sanskrit from BHU
Placements: Basically, the master of arts in Sanskrit does not have any placements. If you achieve the degree of postgraduate, you will qualify for NET. After qualifying NET, you will become a professor or a lecturer in any university or college according to UGC rules and regulations. Many of our college alumni are professors, lecturers and also giving their services in Indian Administration Services.
Infrastructure: Department of Sanskrit has a library, and there are classrooms for each section. Mainly, it is a part of Banaras Hindu Vishvavidyalay, so it has free medical services. There are many canteens like Maitri Jalpan Grih, Agro cafe, cafeteria etc. Hostels are available for merit students.
Faculty: According to me, in my department, all the faculty members are helpful and are wise. Every professor is a master in his own field like Veda Darshan Sahitya Vyakaran and Mimansa also. There is phonetic facility also available here. Basically, the master of arts in Sanskrit has totally UGC based syllabus.
