    BHU is the best central university located in the city of Varanasi.
    Placements: About 70-80 percent placement is confirmed in many potential future. Average packages are about 10 LPA-12 LPA, the lowest is 6 LPA-7 LPA, and the highest goes to 30 LPA in the Bachelor of Arts. There are many other streams and branches of study that provide even greater packages like at IIT-BHU.
    Infrastructure: The magnificent library feels like a second home to the students living here. There is good connectivity of Wi-Fi all over the campus. We also have a medical facility, and a very large hostel accommodation for both students and professors. There are so many hostels, and they have very good accommodation and mess facilities. They have a Wi-Fi connection.
    Faculty: Teachers are very helpful, highly qualified, and knowledgeable. The course curriculum is relevant to the required industry. Semester exams are not very difficult but are concept-based and have a strict invigilation during the exams.
    Other: I chose the course because I have to focus on UPSC CSE. I think this course will help me very much in my career. The campus is very large and beautifully built. One could definitely say that after entering the campus it is another city due to its large campus area. Students here enjoy their lives very much.

    The college is overall good, but I would say to go for the main campus instead.
    Placements: In my major, philosophy, there were 51 seats. No package or company is recruiting in my course, as this is a Bachelor of Arts degree. There are no paid internships, maybe I am not sure enough, but I guess there is fieldwork to make students ready from the grassroots level.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure is quite nice and clean; the rooms are airy and fresh. It also has a central library where you can issue books, and in the cyber library, you can access your lectures, etc. There is also a proper medical facility and a good space for sports. The food in the mess is mediocre.
    Faculty: Teachers are helpful. Sometimes you will find the office staff a little bit rude, but overall, they help with your doubts. I would say go for the course you are comfortable with. Semester exams are quite friendly. If you have prepared well, you can score well.
    Other: I chose this course as it will help me with government exam preparations and is also beneficial for optional subjects because of the short syllabus.

    College life is the best. The faculty is nice, and extracurricular activities are always happening.
    Placements: There are almost 150 to 200 students in an honours class. It is compulsory for every student to have an internship in the second year, and approximately 80 to 85 percent of students get placed.
    Infrastructure: There is a huge central library in our college, as huge as some of the top colleges, where we have both a cyber library and a normal library. Apart from that, every building has a mini library of its own. Wi-Fi connection is available in the buildings as well.
    Faculty: Teachers are very helpful in all aspects, from teaching us and clearing doubts to assisting with internships and placements. The only issue is that exams get scheduled a lot, which the college needs to improve. However, the exams are conducted properly and fairly.

    Mahila Maha Vidyalaya, Banaras Hindu University, is good value for money.
    Placements: There is a training and placement cell of each department, like social science, arts, etc., on the main campus. Placements highly depend on the student's individual CV or skills. An internship has been made mandatory in the third year under the NEP curriculum. My advice is that students should enhance their skills and also look for off-campus opportunities instead of solely depending on campus placements, especially if they are from the arts course.
    Infrastructure: In Mahila Maha Vidyalaya, labs for science students are well-equipped and maintained. Classes are held regularly. There is free Wi-Fi for all students, including hostellers and day scholars. As our university is really old, some buildings have slightly degraded, but new buildings are also there with better infrastructure. Mess food and hostels are also average to above average in accordance with the fees. But one hostel is under construction in MMV as of now, so not all girls have been allotted a hostel.
    Faculty: This is one area where MMV is ahead of FMC, especially in the arts department. Professors are so kind and professional. They teach regularly and send related materials. The teaching quality is definitely above average. Semester exams are not that tough, and one can easily pass if they follow classes.
    Other: The best thing about being a BHU main campus student is facilities. We get free bus service, Wi-Fi, libraries, and a wide network of students and professors to connect with. We can connect with IIT and IMS students if we want. We can also be a part of events. There are clubs and societies too. We also get government scholarships.

Without studying hard, there is no scope to pass in the semester exam. Students take help from teachers for career guidance and knowledge.
    Other: There are many activities on campus: mountaineering, sports, and events. They build our character and knowledge. They help us to know different friends and cultures.

    Faculty: The faculty is supportive and knowledgeable, the curriculum blends theory with practical understanding, and exams are conducted regularly with a balanced mix of written assessment and internal evaluation. Exam patterns can be traced by PYQs and so on.
    Other: It's good for campus life and academic growth.
