I study at one of the best colleges in India.

Placements: The M.Sc. Physics course was of two years' duration. Only 25 seats were available in this course. The placement cell of the college was very supportive. The highest package of our course was 1.2 Crore per annum, and the average package was 9 LPA. Mostly EdTech companies came for placements. Companies like PW, Unacademy, and FIITJEE hired most of the students.

Absolutely dissatisfied because the college has zero exposure.

Placements: There was no placement cell in the college. Internship offers were provided by the main campus placement cell. Those were only a few unpaid internships in NGOs. Personally, I did not feel they added anything valuable to the resume or helped in teaching/upgrading skills in any way.

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

Placements: In Bhu, the placement cell is active mainly for Master's students, not UG students. Students from undergraduate courses like Computer Science, Statistics, Psychology, etc. GATE placement with an average package of 5 LPA-7 LPA is offered. The highest was last year, around 8 LPA. The percentage is nearly 5-10 percent because most students prefer higher studies. Some private banks offer the majority of the placements.

Affordable education, necessary things, and the reputation of the university.

Placements: Last year, many students from Statistics, Computer Science and Chemistry got placements in various companies. The average package is around 6 LPA to 8 LPA. Students from psychology also got placements, but for Physics and Mathematics students the placement rate is below average.

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

Placements: Being a student of Chemistry major, I must say the placement cell for Chemistry students is decent. Last year, 5-8 students got placed with a 5 LPA-8 LPA package. Most of the students refer to higher studies only. But for Physics and Maths, it is almost negligible. Only for CS, Chemistry, and some statistics students from the faculty of Science got placed

Value for money and great environment.

Placements: The chances of getting a placement in BHU if you are a Physics or Mathematics student are very low. You will have chances if you have completed a Master's. Also, B.Sc. students get it if you choose courses like statistics, CS or psychology. MBA students also get placement. Here you have great chances to pursue your graduation along with a part-time job as a teacher or mentor in various coaching institutes.
