3.4

1.0Placements4.0Infrastructure4.0Faculty5.0Crowd & Campus Life3.0Value for Money

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.

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.

Really amazing facilities and infrastructure of the department, but hostel facilities are average.

Placements: During my time in this university, 10-15% of students got placed in teaching fields mostly. The average package was 6-7 lacs p.a. Top recruiting companies were educator companies. A very few percentage of students got internships from my course. I don’t have enough knowledge about roles offered.

Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure available for this course are really amazing and helpful during the entire journey of the course. If I talk about facilities like Wi-Fi connectivity, labs, classrooms, and the library, all meet the criteria to be superb. Hostel facilities like mess food and canteen are average. However, medical facilities, sports, and games are really good.

Faculty: Teachers and staff are really helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable, and teaching quality is really superb. Course curriculum is really important, so yes, it makes students industry-ready. The semester exams are not easy in this university, and the pass percentage is 40%.

Other: I enjoyed the environment of the campus.

M.Sc. in Botany - Batch of 2026

Good infrastructure and faculty.

Placements: If you're coming for placements, then Banaras Hindu University isn't a top-tier placement giver. Although the highest package in the case of Botany goes up to 9-10 LPA, the placement percentage is low. Mostly, Edtech companies come for placements in Botany, such as Allen, Aakash, Unacademy, etc.

Infrastructure: The department is good. Classrooms contain A.C., although labs haven't A.C. yet, but they are clean and well-ventilated. Free Wi-Fi is available. Water coolers are available, which are in fully working condition. A departmental library is there, which contains all the necessary books. The library is also air-conditioned. A proper garden with a fountain is there, with a vehicle garage. There is also a botanical garden that is maintained by our department.

Faculty: Mixed faculty is there; some of them are too good and knowledgeable, while some of them are average. I won't say that the curriculum makes students industry-ready, as there are a lack of some topics that are more relevant in modern industries. Semester exams are difficult—not too much, but yes. Although the passing percentage is high.

Other: This course was chosen by me because I was interested in Botany from a long way back, and in India, Banaras Hindu University is currently #1 in studies on Botany. Campus life is too good here—close campus, free health facility, free Wi-Fi, free gym, swimming facility, all are available. The campus is neat and clean. There are several playing grounds providing facilities to play all kinds of games. The campus is ragging-free and safe. Fests are minimal here, but events are frequent in departments and hostels.

Best College for MSC in biochemistry!

Placements: The total tuition fee for M.Sc. in Biochemistry at BHU is INR 6662. The highest package was 22.1 lakh per year, and the average was 11.1 lakh per year. Some jobs are research associate, lab technician, etc. I think students should go for it. It provides huge job rates.

Infrastructure: There are digital classes, including Wi-Fi, computers, and a library for studies. The hostel is nice, and the food is very good. There are extracurricular activities also, like cricket, dance, music, football, volleyball, and kabaddi. There are hospitals and pharmacies for emergencies.

Faculty: The teachers are well qualified and high profile. They have a huge talent for teaching practically. The semester exams are not so hard; they are easy. If you study at least 3-4 hours daily, you will get good marks. The passing mark is 40%. Good luck, friends.

Other: It offers high job rates.

The Dream University: Banaras Hindu University.

Placements: There is no placement in the mathematics department. One may get off-campus placements on his or her own but there is no such placement on the department's side. If you are looking for placement, then statistics, or DST CIMS, is for you. The mathematics department provides absolutely zero placement.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi is top-notch, the library is great, and classrooms are also cool. The library has a plethora of books and every book has multiple copies, enabling high availability of them. The latest editions are also available in the library. Classrooms are equipped with smart boards and projectors, enabling professors to reach every student easily in large classes.

Faculty: The teachers are very helpful and knowledgeable. They are available for doubt-solving at any hour. The HOD of mathematics department is very helpful and new thoughts are always encouraged. syllabus is basically pure-based but applied part is also taught enough. syllabus is humongous, and it may seem that students have to cover a lot in a short time. The syllabus is designed to help students crack exams like NET JRF, etc. Recently, a student got AIR 2 in IIT JAM 2024. Semester exams are very difficult, and student need to be very thorough in the topics to pass the exams. Pass percentage is a bit low in PG, as in it is around 50 percent or less.

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

Answered a week 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
