B.Sc. (Hons.) Physics - Batch of 2025

4.2

2Placements4Infrastructure5Faculty5Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

Our college is the best for serious students.

Placements: There were very few placement offers, because most of the students preferred higher studies in their respective fields. Actually, since there was no specific placement cell for UG students, there was a very low number of students who got placed, i.e., 30-40 percent of students were getting placed or less than that.

Infrastructure: There was a decent hostel in our college, which was not too good, but there were some basic facilities provided by the hostel, like free Wi-Fi, and there was also a place for playing outdoor games. Overall, it was 7/10, and the infrastructure of the course was good. You don't have much pressure, you have time to explore new things and find your interests.

Faculty: There were very highly qualified teachers from all over the top universities like IIT, IISC. There was no doubt in their qualification, and they were very helpful in nature. I would say, here also, they preferred textbook studying rather than practical knowledge. The semester exam in the first 2 years was not that tough if you study regularly basis, it can be manageable, actually, you can score well in your semester exam. There was a 70-80 percent pass percentage.

Other: See if you are interested in Physics and want to learn Physics, and understand the core concepts of Physics, then I would say choose BHU ( if u don't get IISER, IISC, NISER). It's too good compared to any college you get from CUET. There were so many facilities for students and a very good environment for me. The only thing I was really obsessed with was the library of this campus, it's amazing. There were events, but not like IITs or NITs, but not bad.

B.Tech. in Dairy Technology - Batch of 2029

3Placements3Infrastructure4Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life3Value for Money

Average for dairy, above average for college life.

Placements: The placement scenario of the college is moderate. On average, students receive salary packages ranging from 5 to 6 LPA. Lactalis, Amul and Vadilal visit the campus for recruitment. The placements at the college are average, but the table and its BHU, so in future it will develop for sure.

Infrastructure: The college has good and well-maintained infrastructure that supports both academic and extracurricular activities. Our college is big, but our department isn't; we need more strength as students and as teachers, too. Classrooms and laboratories are properly equipped. Only ICAR students can get a hostel (SRK HOSTEL).

Faculty: The curriculum focuses on strengthening core concepts and making students industry-ready. The syllabus is designed as per ICAR, and laboratory work, assignments, and co-curricular activities are also included. Faculty members actively support the learning process, making complex topics easier to understand.

2Placements4Infrastructure5Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life5Value for Money

Mahila Maha Vidyalaya, Banaras Hindu University, is good value for money.

Placements: There is a training and placement cell of each department, like social science, arts, etc., on the main campus. Placements highly depend on the student's individual CV or skills. An internship has been made mandatory in the third year under the NEP curriculum. My advice is that students should enhance their skills and also look for off-campus opportunities instead of solely depending on campus placements, especially if they are from the arts course.

Infrastructure: In Mahila Maha Vidyalaya, labs for science students are well-equipped and maintained. Classes are held regularly. There is free Wi-Fi for all students, including hostellers and day scholars. As our university is really old, some buildings have slightly degraded, but new buildings are also there with better infrastructure. Mess food and hostels are also average to above average in accordance with the fees. But one hostel is under construction in MMV as of now, so not all girls have been allotted a hostel.

Faculty: This is one area where MMV is ahead of FMC, especially in the arts department. Professors are so kind and professional. They teach regularly and send related materials. The teaching quality is definitely above average. Semester exams are not that tough, and one can easily pass if they follow classes.

Other: The best thing about being a BHU main campus student is facilities. We get free bus service, Wi-Fi, libraries, and a wide network of students and professors to connect with. We can connect with IIT and IMS students if we want. We can also be a part of events. There are clubs and societies too. We also get government scholarships.
