Overall, it is a very good college; here you can make your life worth living.

Placements: From B.Sc., you can't expect placement from college; you have to do other things for skills or pursue a master. The placement cell is empty as there is no demand in the market for B.Sc. students. For employment, students have to take on their own. But for medical and IIT, the placements are very good.

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

Placements: In the BA course you mostly have to try everything by yourself there's no placement cell in the college. You can try to find a job by yourself. If you're from economics hons, then it's very easy for you to grab a job through the BA (Hons.) course. In the 4th semester they will throw you into the adversities of an internship and it's quite interesting to learn new things and gain a better experience.

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

Placements: Well, B.A. courses don't have any placement scene as in other degrees, like B.Tech. Most students go for further studies to become professors or economists, while some prepare for competitive exams like CAT, SSC, etc. There is a placement cell, but I don't think anyone cares about it, to be honest.
