Absolutely loved my journey because of the faculty and great improvements in me.
Placements: There were around 300 students in my batch 2019-21. Almost 170 of us have qualified for UGC-NET, and 100 out of 170 have qualified for JRF as well. People who aspired to do a PhD are doing the same today. They passed the selection process. Some of us also have become permanent assistant professors, and some are working as guest lecturers. Even our juniors are doing so well.
Infrastructure: Our central library is one of the largest libraries in India, Sayajirao Gaikawad Central Library. And hostels are available as double-seater rooms. No single rooms are allotted in arts departments. Facilities and canteens are top-notch. It's available on Google Search as well. You can see for a crosscheck.
Faculty: Teachers are quite helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. They enhance critical thinking abilities through lectures, projects, and exams. There are question papers with 70 marks in external exams; 60 marks out of 70 are for subjective answers. It shows their encouragement for critical thinking enhancement.
Other: I chose this course because I always have been interested in being an assistant professor of English literature. There are always some lecture programs and scholarly events happening in the Manviya Moolya Anusheelan Kendra, which is a part of our faculty. Moreover, there is a theatre group called Rangshala, which is actively engaged in theatrical activities. Sanskriti and Spain are well-known cultural festivals exploring various events. Sport festivals are top-notch.

Exceptional faculty members and strong industry preparation.
Placements: In my geography course, about 85% of students were placed. The highest package offered was 10 LPA, the lowest was 3 LPA, and the average stood at 6 LPA. Top recruiting companies included GIS Corp., Eco Analytics, and Urban Solutions. Around 60% of students secured internships, mainly with Greentech and Smart City. Top roles included GIS analyst, environment consultant, and urban planner.
Infrastructure: Facilities for the geography department were impressive, with strong Wi-Fi, well-equipped labs, spacious classrooms, and a comprehensive library. Hostels offered decent accommodation, though some rooms could use upgrades. The mess served good-quality food, while the canteen had a variety of snacks. Medical facilities were adequate, and there were good options for sports and games.
Faculty: Teachers in my geography course were exceptional. They were highly qualified, approachable, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality was top-notch, making complex concepts easy to grasp. The curriculum was very relevant and prepared students well for industry demands. Semester exams could be challenging, but they were fair, with a pass percentage of around 50%.

Review of M.A. (Political Science), Banaras Hindu University.
Placements: I am from the faculty of social science students. My course is M.A. (Political Science). As there is not much opportunity in my course for placement, some students join placement cells organized by departments to get placement in various sectors and get paid based on the work.
Infrastructure: I live in Raja Ram Mohan Roy Hostel, which is exclusively allotted to postgraduate students. My course is political science. In my course, there are approximately 130 students who get admission, and every student gets access to the library and Wi-Fi facilities.
Faculty: Teachers are very good and well qualified. There are five papers in my course. For five papers, approximately 10 teachers are provided to teach the papers. It means two teachers teach one paper. They complete their courses on time, are student-friendly, and take extra classes as well when needed.
Other: I chose political science because I completed my graduation from this stream and wanted to choose political science as my career option.

The college is a balance of both - good and bad.
Placements: Many students got internships in our course. Internship opportunities came mainly from hospitals and non-profit organisations. INR 6.8 lpa is the average package offered in our course from college. 50–60% of the students get placed at the completion of the course. Many opportunities are provided during the course.
Infrastructure: College has free Wi-Fi and a library. The library has a lot of books. Almost all of the books for my class are available in the library. Classrooms are also good. Our college's hostel is above average, and the food is delicious. Medical facilities are also provided.
Faculty: Teachers are really helpful. There is also an IIT graduate professor in college. Semester exams are a bit difficult, pass percentage is near 70 %. Teachers motivate us to join an NGO and to do an internship. They also help us apply for internships and keep us up to date.
Other: I am interested in the psychology field, especially clinical psychology, and that's why I opted for this course. I wish there would be less theory and more practical application to studying.
