Companies like PW, Unacademy, and FIITJEE hired most of the students.

Infrastructure: Our institute was very beautiful and green. Wi-Fi was available throughout the campus and in the hostel 24/7. Classrooms had smart board facilities, which helped teachers explain topics effectively. A central library was located in the institute where students could borrow books for reading. Hostel rooms were great, and the mess food was really tasty.

Faculty: All our teachers were very supportive and kind. They always helped us solve academic problems. They were highly qualified, and most of them had Ph.D. degrees. The course mainly focused on deep theoretical knowledge. Semester exams were easy to moderate, and most students passed successfully.

Overall, best University for M.Sc. In Bioinformatics Course.

Placements: In our college, 70% of the students were placed from our batch. The highest package on campus was 6 LPA, and the lowest was 2LPA, the average is 4LPA. Top recruiters were Jubilant Biosys, Roche, Aurigene Discover, etc. In the end, the internship was not as high as the university had promised. The roles assigned were Bioinformatics Analyst, Computational Biologist, and so on.

Infrastructure: The college amenities were excellent. Comprehensive amenities include multimedia for efficient classroom instruction, digital tools, and access to sporting facilities. The hostel rooms were well decorated. The environment at college is fascinating. The interior roads were relatively smooth, and the rooms were in good condition.

Faculty: The college has excellent faculty members who have enough experience in their domain to teach you. The faculty was recruited from abroad and industry experts to enhance the learning of the students. Character development was given as much priority as implementation. Modern technology was used to educate students.

M.Sc. in Forensic Science - Batch of 2024

3.4

Not so satisfactory because of the placements and lack of a proper forensic department.

Placements: In our batch of M.Sc. forensic science no one got placements. Actually, there are no placements for forensic students. Some of our seniors got placements at Aakash Institute but not in the field of forensics. Students have to find forensic labs on their own for internships and other practical exposure.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is everywhere on BHU campus but lab is very small. Classroom is fine with smart screen board. They don't have enough books in the library for all students. Hostels are good. Every hostel has Wi-Fi, mess, sports items, reading room, common room, and greenery around.

Faculty: Honesty, the forensic department is not very developed, so there are no forensic faculty members or professors from different departments who come to teach their subjects which are also a subject in forensic science. Professors from biology law, chemistry, and physics departments teach forensic biology, forensic law, forensic chemistry, and forensic physics respectively. Course curriculum is best for UGC NET. I don't find semester exams difficult. Passing marks are 1/3 of the total marks as usual.

Other: Forensic science is a fascinating subject. The practical knowledge is more important in this course. There is always something happening like workshops, conferences, and sports competitions in BHU.

Banaras Hindu University is the best college.

Placements: Placements are available and it is quite good as many of us present there and participated in all these things. Some companies visit the college for placements. Many students get placed. The average package is approximately 6 LPA. In Geology and Chemistry, we have very good job opportunities just after graduation compared to mathematics and physics. After post-graduation, we have a little chance for placements in maths and physics with a salary package that ranges from 4-5 LPA.

Infrastructure: The hostel facility is excellent. It has 24-hour light, a mess facility, and purified RO drinking water. A computer library is available for students. Internet facility is available for every student in the hostel.

Faculty: There are efficient and qualified faculty members at BHU. Every faculty member is well-established in their field of specialisation. Every course offers a very balanced amount of faculty members for the number of students. If a batch has 60 students for Zoology Hons, almost 10-12 teachers are teaching the same, so there is a good division of topics and attention over each student. The course curriculum is very relevant. Things we are taught are the most skillful and to be used things in further studies. The level of education is very good according to the course. We are taught everything. There are also lab facilities that provide practical knowledge hand in hand with theoretical knowledge.

It is a very affordable college for middle class students.

Placements: For third-year students, the 4th semester is the minimum requirement for students to become eligible for campus placements. The names of the companies visited in Invertis University Bareilly are Infosys, Tech Mahindra, TCS, and many more companies. The highest package is 41 Lacs, and the average package is 6-9 Lacs. Placement opportunity for the students is almost high.

Infrastructure: There are many conferences held in departments on a regular basis. The student well-being cell is there, which helps students for their good mental health. Akansha Fest is held in the faculty of science, in which writing essays, poetry, singing, dancing, drawing, and many more things are there to explore yourself in different modes every year.

Faculty: The faculty-to-student ratio is 20/1. Faculty and student relationships are more attractive and beautiful. The name of the faculty member is Mr Amritanesh Mishra, sir. I like him very much because his teaching skill is very impressive. 2 exams for the semester and 2 exams for midterms or unit tests in a year are conducted. Exams are not very tough.

M.Sc. in Mathematics - Batch of 2024

BHU: The Beauty of Banaras.

Placements: At the Department of Mathematics, Institute of Science, placements are not much encouraged. In my time, 4 students were placed with a package of 5 to 6 Lacs in a batch of 120. But now they have a placement cell where you have to join, and they mostly call companies from the edtech sector. However, in other departments like Zoology, Botany, and Chemistry, placements are good. In my department, they do not offer too many internships; during my time, there was only one, which was Vedic Mathematics. But there is IIT BHU, where you can apply for internships in the Department of Mathematics.

Infrastructure: The M.Sc. in Mathematics is a 2-year course, consisting of 4 semesters. Exams are held semester-wise. For 20 marks, they hold a mid-semester exam after 2 months from the start of the semester, 10 marks are given for attendance and class performance, and then 70 marks for the end-semester exam. The department has its own library with enough mathematics books, and there is also a computer lab with more than 50 computers. Hostel facilities are very good and are cleaned regularly. Wi-Fi is available in both the hostel and the department. There are 2 to 3 messes and 1 to 2 canteens in the hostels.

Faculty: Faculty members are well-qualified and come from IISC and IITs. The teaching quality is very good. Some professors are rude, but that number is very small. Teachers are very helpful for your future life. The course is mainly focused on research and teaching, but it does not make you industry-ready. The semester exams are tough, and that is required because the course has a very good value in IITs and other high-ranked institutes. But you can get good marks by studying 2 to 3 hours daily and 7 to 10 hours before exams. Solving previous year papers makes it easy.

Other: I chose this university because it is in the top 5 ranked universities in India and in the top 15 worldwide. The course is designed for research and teaching. They teach some research topics. There are some very good professors like Ashish Kumar Upadhyay (Ph.D., IISC), Harish Chandra, Krishnendu Bhattacharya, Akhilesh Yadav, Shyam Lal, and many others. If the course had a project in the last semester with presentations, it would help students more for industry and research and provide a variety of career options. Aakansha is held every year in January and February, featuring events like dancing, singing, poetry, essay writing, and quizzes. Every year, a sports program is held at the Institute of Science, covering all the games like cricket, kabaddi, football, badminton, volleyball, etc.

Which is better, LPU or BHU for B.Tech?

Answered 3 weeks ago

This comparison depends a lot on the branch and your admission options. BHU has the advantage of being a highly established public institution with a strong academic reputation, so I wouldn't choose LPU automatically if you have a good B.Tech branch at BHU. However, if you're specifically comparing
