College is very good and has very good infrastructure.

Placements: The internship opportunities are so many in our college, and it literally gives students to create their career from base to a high level. It is so well-mannered, and the basic skills learning is so good. The campus placement of our college is quite good, and from the 3rd year onwards, campus placement starts. It literally gives us a good hope to build our dream. Quite peaceful and very well-known companies also come here.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is very decent and rich. Fests held every year include freshers' party. Library facilities are also decent; all books will be available which are used by us. Good clubs also include math and tech clubs. Hostel facility is average as sometimes we face Wi-Fi issues in the hostel and sometimes hot water issues. Other than those, all are decent enough, and the mess food is average, though varieties are offered. Table, chair, fan, cupboard, and shoe rack are provided in the hostel.

Faculty: There are many faculty members in our college; also, guest faculty are there. The course structure is so well, and the exam system and the library is so good. The exam conducting system is very good, and it helps a lot. Teachers are so well and humble with students, and it provides good mentorship for a better future.

Absolutely satisfied with every direction of the college.

Placements: I have been placed in Ph.D. pharmacy. Most of my graduation friends also took this same course. The package offered by the top recruiting companies was good. Also, most of my friends got ever 10 LPA and I got the package of 12 LPA, which was a good package. About 70% of the students from Ph.D. pharmacy got placements.

Infrastructure: If I talk about the facilities and infrastructure that were provided by the colleges absolutely fantastic. There were more facilities of the needs. If I talk about water quality, canteen, air-conditioned classrooms, labs, libraries, and all were very maintained. The labs had proper equipments for the students.

Faculty: Teachers were good and very supportive of the students. Also, I respect all teachers who help me in study. The teaching quality was also good and upgraded in 2015. The course curriculum was ready and relevant to the new education policies. But bad point was that the semester exams were somewhat so most of the students could not sustain 6 CGPA.

Other: I had no complaints about anything. All was very good and it's a popular college and had the best rating.

Review of Banaras Hindu University College.

Placements: About 55% of the students are placed in my department. The highest package is 5 LPA, the average package is 3.5 LPA, and the lowest package is 2 LPA. The students who got internships in several recruiting companies are 35%. Students opt for outside opportunities too.

Infrastructure: The facilities at our college are good, with fine infrastructure. They provide Wi-Fi, smart board facilities, and others. The departments are well-designed. The library is also good; we can find all types of books there. The hostel is better; they offer Wi-Fi facilities, provide food and rooms to students, and keep the mess well-cleaned. Our college also organizes sports activities.

Faculty: The teachers are helpful and well-qualified, like Ph.D. holders. The teaching quality is good, and the course makes students industry-ready. Semester exams are more difficult than those at other colleges, but they help build students. The passing CGPA is above 9.
