My journey of Banaras Hindu University.

Placements: In my course, 20–25% of students get placed. The average package is 8–9 LPA, and the highest package is 12–14 LPA. Every recruiting company comes like L&T, Godrej. 100% internship is offered to students in private companies and also in the public sector. The main role offered is HR role.

Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure available in my department are very good. Facilities like smart classes, library, labs, and research rooms are available. Hostel facility is also available. Hostels are allotted on the basis of merit. Food quality of mess is quite good. Taste is also good.

Faculty: Professors and faculty members are very helpful and supportive. They are very good in nature. Their teaching quality is fabulous. This course makes students ready for corporate work-life. The difficulty level of examinations is moderate to high. The passing percentage is 40% in each subject.

Other: I chose this course because in the current time HRM is a very demanding profession. So it helps me to compete in the future. Along with academics, fests and extracurricular activities are also organised on our campus which enhance and boost students’ skills in many fields.

3.0Placements3.0Infrastructure3.0Faculty4.0Crowd & Campus Life5.0Value for Money

It is good, but not with placement. It is a good college with a high ROI. BHU has its own big brand.

Placements: I am an MBA Financial Management student in the 2nd semester with an NISM certificate and many others, and I am searching for an internship but not getting one in finance, only sales or business development roles. My seniors are not getting placements, 3-4 out of 73, and they are not satisfied with the faculty. Only 2 or 3 professors have been good so far in teaching us, while others are not coming to class. But money-wise, it is good, as the MBA degree costs Rs. 1 lakh.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is good, and the temperature is good because of the lot of greenery in BHU. Medical facilities are very good, and SRK mess provides good food. All game fields are available. The hostel is not provided to me and is under construction, it take two years. The library has old books and no new books.

Faculty: They are not providing us with placements. You can easily pass the exam with 70%. The courses are relevant to the industry, but a few are irrelevant. Professors are very well qualified, and the library has good infrastructure, but not books in our syllabus.

Other: For entrance into the corporate word after mba , and a good placement Extracurricular activities is debate society, newsletter participate to write,

4.4

4.0Placements4.0Infrastructure4.0Faculty5.0Crowd & Campus Life5.0Value for Money

It's enough to understand the life of an MBA student after taking admission.

Placements: Approximately 60-70% of students are placed through the campus placement drive. The highest package is 9-10 LPA, and the average package is 4-5 LPA. The lowest package offered is 3 LPA. Top recruiting companies include Axiom, Beacons, Iffco Tokio, Ren Tackle, Federal Bank, etc. All students of the batch get internships in different companies like BHEL, IREDA, IDBI, HDFC Bank, etc. Top roles offered include sales manager, insurance advisory, etc.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is good but a bit small compared to others. All facilities like Wi-Fi, library, and well-maintained classrooms are available. 24/7 Wi-Fi and library facilities are available. Hostel accommodation is also provided at a very cheap rate, around Rs.8,000 to Rs.10,000 for the whole year, and the mess is on a daily basis. Medical facilities are also available for campus students free of cost. There are many sports grounds available on the campus for games.

Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified and knowledgeable. The course curriculum is relevant, but it does not fully make students to be industry-ready. Semester exams are not too tough to crack. Almost all students pass the exams. Most of them only tell you to go for NET, JRF, etc and do not help you a lot with job interviews.

Other: I chose this course because it is value for money with a low fee of only Rs.52,000 per year, and you can get this fee refunded as a scholarship through the government. There is a heavy crowd on the campus. Many workshops and extracurricular activities take place on the campus.
