Q: Which is better for MA in Urdu- JNU or BHU?

ShikshaGPT says

Both Jawaharlal Nehru University and Banaras Hindu University are top central universities in India. Both have their advantages. Below mentioned are some of the distinct observations about both JNU and BHU: 1. You must have over 50% in your bachelor's degree to apply to BHU, whereas you can apply to JNU with 45%. 2. BHU has more seats for the MA in Urdu course than the JNU. 3. JNU's master programme is less expensive than BHU's. You can do a master's course at JNU for less than INR 1,000. 4. Job opportunities with a master's degree in Urdu from JNU are comparably greater than those with a master's degree in Urdu from BHU.
