Banaras Hindu University was one of the most famous universities of India.

Placements: I was not sure about the placement process. My course was not eligible for placements. I was here for higher studies, and the sociology subject attracted my interest. I was not sure about others who got placed here, but I was not offered any placements. Otherwise, this college was great.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure was dope at this college. I loved it. This college was absolutely amazing. It was filled with nature and trees. I was amazed by its infrastructure. Because it had a great blend of classic and modern elements. Those who studied there had a lot of fresh air and got good vibes.

Faculty: Teachers of this college were very great. They were helpful, caring, and very highly educated. They had enough knowledge for our course and had a lot of knowledge out of the subject. Semester exams of this college were not very tough. You could study one month before the exam and get good marks. Passing percentage was 40%.

very less course fee with all desirable facilities.

Placements: Only 18 students opted for History of Art in B.A. Final year, which was around 2.5% of total students admitted in my batch 2021. No such offer for undergraduate course. No recruiting companies for my course while I am studying. No one got internship from my course in my batch. .

Infrastructure: There is 24*7 Wi-Fi available. There is no such lab for undergraduate students, but Bharat Kala Bhavan is used by us as a lab. Classrooms are fully furnished with all desirable facilities. There are many libraries for students such as Central Library, Cyber Library, UG Library, and each department has a separate library.

Faculty: All the teachers are very helpful and knowledgeable and teaching quality is awesome, the curriculum is relevant. The semester exam is not too difficult, but sometimes it is challenging, almost 80-90% of students pass the semester exam.

Other: I chose this course because I come from an art background, and history is one of my favorite subjects. The best thing about this course is that we can go through history once again, exploring events that happened thousands of years ago, i hope to get a placement as an undergraduate student, events and fests are often organized by the department or faculty. The campus crowd is somewhat high in the evening, and the surroundings are very natural and friendly. Very few undergraduate students receive direct scholarships, but some other initiatives like Earn While You Learn also work for students. Extracurricular activities are held on special occasions.

Please take admission at your own risk.

Placements: There is no actual placement, though they have a placement cell. However, I don't think anybody gets placed. Students get local internships, but there is no stipend, and they are not even relevant to the course. They are just some social work. No big companies come for recruitment despite the large number of students studying here.

Infrastructure: They say the whole campus is under Wi-Fi, but it's not true. Classrooms are often cleaned, but only the floors and tables remain dusty. We have labs for the department, although they are not very well-equipped. In the library, you’re sometimes lucky if you find the book you want. Hostels are fine but not very good. The food is below average, the canteen is dirty, and the prices keep increasing. We have a sports meet once a year. The rest of the year, they don't care about the ground or the equipment.

Faculty: The curriculum is good and vast. Teachers and professors are good and teach thoroughly. They are also kind, supportive, and highly qualified. Examinations are moderately difficult. The pass percentage is 40. Sometimes the paper is out of the syllabus, especially for final year students.

Other: There are no fests, events, connectivity, or extracurricular activities.

Review of Vasant Kanya Mahavidyalaya.

Placements: Placements happen mostly for professional courses like management, IT, and commerce. For arts and pure Science students, there are fewer chances. The placement cell tries to guide students with training and workshops, but many prefer to continue their studies or write exams for government jobs.

Faculty: Teachers are supportive and simply explain lessons. They also share notes and sometimes discuss topics outside the syllabus. Regular attendance helps, as teachers often give important hints in class. Exams are fair and can be managed with steady study.

Other: Nice.

Review of Vasant Kanya Mahavidyalaya.

Placements: Placements depend a lot on the course. Some courses, like management and computer applications, attract good recruiters, while traditional subjects get fewer chances. The college helps through resume-building workshops and soft skills sessions. Even if placements are not very high, students are motivated to explore internships and government exams.

Infrastructure: The campus has a mix of old and new buildings. Classrooms are simple but well-maintained. The library is one of the strongest facilities with digital resources, too. Hostels provide basic comfort, and the mess food is average but affordable. Wi-Fi is available in most areas, and sports grounds are active spots for students.

Faculty: Faculty members are supportive and focus on practical learning. They encourage students to participate in presentations and group discussions. The syllabus is updated with current trends and exam test clarity of concepts. Regular attendance helps because teachers often share extra notes during class. The academic environment pushes students towards steady progress.

Other: Everything is okay.

College is good, but needs infrastructure development and more exposure.

Placements: I don’t know much about this yet as I’m just a fresher, but it’s not good for B.A. Hons English students. They don’t get campus recruitment or placements. Also, the B.A. degree is not really respected here. The university really needs to put in more effort to enhance skills.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure for the course is good but needs maintenance because the buildings are very dirty. About the hostel, there are very few girls’ hostels. I’m 1200 km away from home and still haven’t got a hostel allotted. Also, the hostels are in very bad condition and need repair.

Faculty: The faculty is good. Professors are highly qualified professionals and are really helpful. The course is good, but the thing about the minor is not good. That is not at all relevant to our major. It wastes time and gives unnecessary stress.

Other: The course is good, but the NEP syllabus, where we have to study minor, MDC, VAC, and SEC, is totally absurd. We spend more time studying them than our major. About the minor, there must be an option to change it if not satisfied.
