Some inside knowledge of BHU before you take admission.

Placements: There is little to no placement for B.Sc. degrees themselves. A B.Tech degree cannot be compared to a B.Sc. degree. Placements will occur only when we do our Master's. I have no idea if there is any year when there has been placement in our college for B.Sc. CS. An internship is mandatory in our 4th semester, whether done outside or in the college itself.

Review of B.A. Economics Programme at BHU.

Placements: Banaras Hindu University has a career guidance, training, and placement Cell. Placements can differ from course to course. Professional courses like MBA, B.Tech, and MCA offer spectacular placement opportunities. Various companies such as Fintech, Wipro, Axis Bank, etc., come to recruit students. As per my knowledge, there are ample placement opportunities, and they need to be improved for most of the UG courses like B.A., B.Com, B.Sc., etc. Students mostly pursue higher Studies or research.

One of the best colleges in Northern India.

Placements: 60% of the students get placed on campus. The remaining get placed off campus. Some prepare for government examinations, so they do not sit for placements. The lowest package is 8 LPA. The highest is around 56 LPA for an SDE role, possibly off campus. Amazon, Google, Meesho, and Microsoft are some of the top recruiting companies. 20 students get internships at Godrej, Microsoft, Google, etc. Assistant Manager is one of the roles offered.

Good campus life and faculty.

Placements: I don't know much about placements through my course but we did get internships in DD Kendra Patna, MMTTC Varanasi, Nagri Pracharini Sabha, etc. Here we get ideas from the faculty for placements and many of the students from my course go for Ph.D. and become professors, so it's a good university to complete Hindi hons.

Mesmerising college life and amazing campus.

Placements: Placements are not constant because it is a social science course. Direct campus placement for BHU Political Science is limited. Most graduates pursue Civil Services, UGC NET/teaching, Ph.D./research, NGOs, policy think tanks, or journalism. PG median salary ranges between 9 LPA.
