BHU - A learning centre enchanted by Ganga ghat and vibrant life.

Faculty: Curriculum is the same as what one studies for competitive exams. Good papers are there. Faculty is also helpful. The rest all depend on how much you can extract. Semester exams are not very tough. PYQs help a lot 40 /100 is the minimum passing mark. Teachers are highly qualified and can best guide you for your research.

M.A. in Political Science from BHU, Varanasi. BHU gave me some really wonderful memories.

Faculty: Faculty members are decent, but some are excellent and helpful. Some specialized courses under the (FSS) Faculty of Social Sciences make students industry-ready (e.g., Master's courses such as MSW, MPMIR, AIHC, Energy Economics). The curriculum is good and strongly matches with UGC NET preparation. Also, if you are preparing for civil services examinations or state provincial services, the curriculum becomes handy.

Absolutely dissatisfied because the college has zero exposure.

Faculty: Teachers were very helpful, qualified, knowledgeable, and friendly. However, lectures were old-fashioned. There were no smart rooms. The syllabus needed to be upgraded. It provided in-depth knowledge in the field but did not make students industry-ready. Most of the students faced difficulties during their internships.

Value for money, campus life, infrastructure, and guidance.

Faculty: Faculty members are good also. They mainly teach theories rather than applications. The syllabus is also IIT JAM, GATE, CSIR NET-based, which will help in further studies. Semester exams are generally moderate to easy level, and the passing percentage was around 80 percent last year in our section. The teachers are highly qualified from institutes like IISc, Oxford University, Cambridge University, etc.

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.

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.
