    It is a gold stone of education with some spots of corrosion.
    Placements: In the 2023 placements season, out of 448 registered students, 312 students secured placements, resulting in a placement rate of 69.6%. The highest package offered is 51 LPA. It provides internship opportunities.
    Infrastructure: GBU provides separate hostels for male and female students, and it has a total of 18 hostels on campus. Each hostel offers spacious and single occupancy rooms. It has a central library. The Bodhisattva Dr. B. R. Ambedkar library is a modern facility. It has spacious halls, a reference section, and a capacity of 2,000 students at a time.
    Faculty: GBU faculty members comprise experienced professionals across various disciplines. Many hold advanced degrees and have significant research and teaching experience. For instance, my course coordinator Dr. Roopali Shrivastav. GBU offers a drives range of undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programs across multiple disciplines.
    Other: I chose B.A. (Hons.) in Economics because it has a huge diversity in the field. It has super supportive and disciplined faculty members. Here management needs to do more focus on its case as GBU has a vast area of 510 acers. Events are frequently organised on campus.

    Overall good college with the best facilities.
    Placements: The placement cell is not too serious about students' placements. Many big companies visit here for placement but in the end, they have to hire on mass recruiting base. The highest package last year was 1 crore for a B.Tech CS student and all others got an average package of 3 LPA-5 LPA.
    Infrastructure: Hostel and infrastructure of the college are good and it expands to around 600 acres and a total of 18 hostels. There are 12 for boys and 6 for girls. They provide a single room to each student with a balcony and LAN connection. Hostel ground is surrounded with garden and park.
    Faculty: Basically, the college hires many teachers on a contract basis for some courses. Some courses, like Biotechnology, are good, and other courses like Humanities and Law are not that good. Teachers also don't do their work properly. They just make you write things and give you important questions before the exam, that's it.
    Other: The campus lies in a good location and there are no connectivity issues. It's a government college, so you get everything done with minimal fees. There is a playground, a swimming pool, and a nature vibe. There are around 14 lakh trees planted on the campus.

    English Hons. at Gautam Buddha University
    Placements: To be honest, this university does not provide any kind of internships nor placements. This university has really bad placements. You really have to find the internship yourself through your sources. So there is no point in taking admission here if you are looking forward to better placement after your course.
    Infrastructure: For this course, there are two classrooms available. The classrooms are not really the best out there. The furniture is not of good quality, plus the rooms are air-conditioned which do not really work. The classrooms have projector screens that have not been used for a long time. The whole university has a problem with internet, so don't even think about using phones in the classroom. The university has a big library with every kind of journal and book available from different fields. About the hostel, you will get a single-seater room with an attached balcony. The room has a bed without a mattress, a table, a chair, an almirah, a bookshelf, two lights, and one fan. You have to use common washrooms. For girls, you can't go out after 7 p.m., but that's not the same case for boys; they can go anytime, anywhere. The quality of mess food is not that good; you can feel sick of it within some time. You will get four meals in the mess with a different menu every single day. If you don't want to eat in the mess, then there is a canteen in the girls' hostel that opens until 10:00 p.m. Apart from that, the university has a few canteens where you can have food. The university has a dispensary if you are feeling a little sick, and if you want to get admitted, then you can go to the nearby hospital under the guidance of the caretaker. The university has different kinds of sports available. If you want to get training in some sports, then you can sign up and get it done under the guidance of coaches. There are multiple stadiums available for different types of sports.
    Faculty: Most of the teachers in this particular course are Ph.D. holders or scholars who are certainly qualified and knowledgeable about the course and different subjects. They will really help you to overcome the problems you are facing while studying. Their teaching quality is up to the mark as they will make the class interesting and fun-loving, so you will not get bored and will learn new things. I can say that the course curriculum is relevant, but it lacks the necessary skills to make the students industry-ready. When I came to know about the course curriculum, I can certainly say that it is better than some universities out there. The semester exams are not easy, nor are they difficult. You can easily pass the examinations with good grades if you have listened to the lectures in the classroom. The pass percentage is around 75 to 80.
    Other: The main reason I chose this course is that I am really fond of literature and the thoughts the writers put behind their work. I certainly know that this is a vast field, and I want to explore it and learn more about it. The best thing about this course is certainly the different types of works of different writers and poets you come across and what you can learn from that. You will surely build your own perspective and way of thinking and looking around the world. As I mentioned above, this course doesn't provide the necessary skills to make the students industry-ready. I wish they could improve it and introduce some better teaching methods to develop this. This university does not conduct a lot of events and fests, so you will be disappointed if you are looking for that. The crowd is not really that good, but it was average to deal with. You can find it a little difficult to reach here if you don't know the proper route. The campus surrounding is really peaceful and full of nature; I am sure you will find so much peace here. The university does provide scholarships if you apply through the UP scholarship provided by the government, only if you belong to this particular state. The different departments organize different types of extracurricular activities that you can participate in.

    Good college campus and student life, but college placements are disappointing.
    Placements: Placement is only for master's students, not bachelor's students. We heard that our master's students got placements, and if you ask any faculty, they will tell you they are working on it. There are no internships and no placements, so work hard and get yourself an internship during the semester break.
    Infrastructure: The LAN connection in the hostel is decent, but sometimes it just does not work. However, you can complain and get it fixed. Mess food has improved a lot since the new tender, it's good, and the menu is decent. Gyms in the hostel lack equipment, and most of the equipment doesn't work. A few hostels have a TT room, dance room, etc. We have a basketball court and a badminton court, but they're usually empty. You do have a canteen inside the hostel, otherwise, for other things, you need to go to the complex.
    Faculty: Faculty members are amazing and experienced in their respective industries; they are also helpful. The course curriculum is based on the UGC syllabus and is divided into six semesters. The college doesn't provide any internships, so if you want to get industry-ready, make use of the semester break. Semester examinations are not that hard, you can score well even if you study just one day before the exam, we have mid-semester examinations, so try to score as much as possible in them, as it will help you clear the end-semester examination easily. Also, make sure to submit your assignments and presentations for internal assessment, overall, you just need 40 marks out of 100 to clear the end-semester.
    Other: We have something going on every now and then in the university, events like Motto GP, Khelo India, and the annual food fest Dawaat-e-GBU, etc.

    Do not be fooled by looks.
    Placements: The Department of European Literature and Modern Languages is quite a good programme to pursue; the teachers and colleagues are supportive and approachable, but the coordination among the department, university, and students is not appreciable because we don't get information on time. Except for this, other areas like placement and extracurricular activities are quite good.
    Infrastructure: In our college, the classrooms are not equal; some are spacious but others are not, and we do have the system of Wi-Fi, but unfortunately we aren't given the password while our own network of our phones is non-approachable. The library is big and spacious, but the books of the English Department are not much, even our academic novels are not there. For technical departments, it is a good source, but not for generic departments.
    Faculty: Some teachers are helpful, but not everyone. Classes seem to be irregular, and there are some teachers who don't mark attendance honesty. Apart from this study being good, while our teachers make the papers, there are full chances of partiality and biasness. We used to have exams every month, no matter if the syllabus was complete or not, which seems to be the drawback of this university resultant: they are after money.
    Other: I chose this course because I wasn't left with any other options, and I am enjoying the learning and outcomes. I wish the teachers should be trained; they need to learn how to teach their students, which they also lack so many times. They make mistakes due to their overconfidence, but if there are something like teacher training programs that need to be attended, then this will be fruitful for the teachers who used to teach as assistants or who are newbies. Events and campus surroundings are great, but the scholarship scheme is not for everyone; it is for only those who are from UP, which makes it hard for other quota students and general category students.

    Management is poor, but infrastructure is pretty good.
    Placements: My course placement is really poor, and their main priority is science students. As for internships, students have to search for them on there own. There are several companies that approached the university, mostly IT companies, but there are platforms like StudyLance too.
    Infrastructure: Infrastructure is pretty good; it's state government University. It covers 511 acres, has it's own library, hostels (both boys and girls), indoor stadium, shopping complex, faculty and 8 different schools for different courses, etc. The campus is quite peaceful and calm.
    Faculty: Permanent or senior faculty for my course are really helpful, very professional, and polite. The only problem with guest faculty is that they change every semester or even in between, and not all of them teach well. Every semester, they conduct 2 exams.
    Other: I wanted to explore more about the English language and I have indeed explored it a lot more, and my vision for that subject is different now. The crowd is basically local. I wish my campus could impoverish it's management.
