A journey that should be cherished lifetime.
Placements: The placements are good and it takes place along with IIT BHU. Several companies like Google, Flipkart comes for recruiting in IIT BHU thus enabling faculty of Science students an opportunity into a great career. However, placement cell of the CS department is less active, thus class representatives play a huge role in attracting companies both MNCs and startups.
Infrastructure: The campus is huge, attractive, green and dreamlike. Streets are dustfree and the university is ragging free due to the several strict laws that have been recently imposed. Hostels and Departments and the libraries are well connected through high-speed internet and resourceful intranet. Playgrounds are in plenty enabling students a beautiful opportunity for MEN SANA IN CIRPORESANO. The faculty members are not up to the mark but it does not matter when you have all the other things in place and your aim undaunted.
Faculty: The M.Sc. and MCA departments are combined into one class and taught in BHU but recently that is segregated and M.Sc. and MCA are taught in separate classrooms. The teachers are helpful but the projects and curriculum were outdated. The course curriculum should include the recent trends in computing like blockchain and machine learning.
Other: The fests like Akankansha, kashiyatra are superb and very eventful.

Review of my course and experience at Banaras Hindu University.
Placements: Almost 90 to 98 percent of students got placed in my course. The average package was 11.1 LPA, and the highest package was 25.1 LPA. The top recruiting companies for my course are Google, Microsoft, and Goldman Sachs. The top roles offered were IT Specialist, Java Developer, Frontend Developer, Backend Developer, and IT Trainer. Around 80 to 96 percent of students got internships at top companies like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon, which visited the campus.
Infrastructure: There were superb facilities and infrastructure available for my course and department, such as Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, and a library. The hostel also had super-quality facilities, with food always available in the mess and canteens. Medical facilities were available 24x7, and sports and games were held every week.
Faculty: Teachers were helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. The quality of teaching was like Seven Sky, too good, too understanding, too lovely. Semester exams were generally manageable if students diligently attended classes and studied the material.
Other: Computer Science could have been improved by focusing on practical skills, interdisciplinary learning, and aligning with industry needs.
