Overall good experience of mine in this college, .
Placements: My course is a general degree course which students opt to go in the fields like academic research or professorship etc. We got opportunities from the company for hiring in the various fields like NGO'S, private sectors. Overall placement cell is working very good if the student has the calibre he'll definitely get a better placement .
Infrastructure: Infrastructure is very good and hostels are very well maintained. Playgrounds, wifis, tt rooms are available in the hostels well maintained and overall good environment to live there. But not everyone get the hostel in the course. Hostel allotment is based on merit, category and distance from the University .
Faculty: Teachers are well qualified and knowledgeable and the best thing is that the whole class runs in a bilingual mode so Hindi medium students will also get benefitted. Faculty time to time organise guest lectures and seminars for the students to grasp knowledge from various subject experts .
Other: The best thing of this course in this University is that the teachers do not give you over burden, you can freely do preparations. There is a easy scheduled classes 3 hrs/day after then you're free to enjoy your campus life. BHU also organise sports and cultural events timely with its hidtorical legacy along with that various fests were organised like Abhikalpan, Udaan etc. Here is a very good environment in which you'll get the fusion of western and indian tradition.

I am satisfied as a student. The education system here can make students proud.
Placements: It is a core subject, so most of the students opt for UPSC after this or apply as a researcher after clearing NET and JRF. They mostly get recruited by various colleges as an assistant professor. Top roles offered are as professors, and their starting salary is offered from Rs. 40,000 per month.
Infrastructure: Facilities on the campus are good. The library has a good stock, and even it is well-equipped with books for government exams. Classrooms are well-built with moderate infrastructure. Sports are encouraged, and medical facilities are free for students. Food is pure vegetarian, but it is value for money.
Faculty: Teachers are qualified for the course. The course is relevant. This subject is not for the industry, but rather students from here are recruited for an MBA program as teachers teach human behavior and psychology. Students are much ready for government exams.

For admission in MA Sociology, you need to have BA, BA (Hons.), B.Sc, so I don't think there would be a problem if you have any of the above-mentioned degree.
