Value for money, moderate placement chances, and good environment.

Faculty: Faculty members are also very good. They generally help the students and give marks too. Most students from BHU in the Chemistry department got selected in the IIT JAM exam. Two of my known seniors went to IISc Bangalore and IIT Guwahati. The syllabus is also IIT JAM, CSIR, NET, and GATE oriented. The syllabus is also good for those who want their career in industry.

The college is cost-effective and has a good environment and infrastructure.

Faculty: It is obvious that not all professors are always good, but for me, professors in the 1st and 2nd semester were overall good. They help if students ask doubts. They generally do not solve numericals because usually no numericals come in exams. The course curriculum is based on IIT JAM, CUET PG, etc., which is one of the good aspects.

Faculty: The faculty is very good and well-experienced. Classes are regular, and rarely do professors cancel classes. They are very helpful. Although the B.Sc. course is not industrial-ready, the paper set by the professors is tough, and you have to prepare for a long time.

Go to the main campus of BHU and avoid affiliated colleges.

Review of Banaras Hindu University.

Faculty: All faculty members and teachers are helpful. They provide doubtful classes and sessions for needy students through online classes and WhatsApp. The course curriculum is enough to get an average package, especially after the start of NEP 2020. Semester exams are held every 6 months. The difficulty level of exams is moderate. An average student can also score high marks.

Well, the campus is huge, and you will get a lot of free time to prepare for the competitive exam.

Faculty: Teacher, we can get it like Russian roulette, some are chill and good in nature, while others have the ego of a baby, but targeting hasn't been done in front of me or any student. The teacher may cancel the class at times, which can be a boon or a bane depending on how you look at it. The curriculum has a lot of diversity to choose from.
