The most important part of my life.
Placements: I did a B.A. at the University of Lucknow. There are no placements at the university, but some private companies offer jobs to B.Sc. students with approximately 2-3 Lacs rupees as interns. However, the percentage of students who got internships was very low. Out of 100 students, only 15-20 would get a job.
Infrastructure: The college was fully air conditioned, and we spent a lot of time there using the computers for our assignments. The WiFi was free, and the staff took good care of us. The hostel was very nice and hygienic, and the food was satisfying. The university has a hospital on campus, and there are two large sports grounds and several smaller ones in each department.
Faculty: Most of the teachers were helpful and qualified enough and the teaching qualities of some of the teachers were exceptional, mainly in the Political Science department. The course curriculum will definitely help us to get knowledge of the things which are very much need in your industry as well as in life.
Other: I opted for this course because I wanted to appear in UPSC. best thing about my course is the teachers I got and knowledge I gathered, which is helping me to prepare for UPSC. I would highly recommend if they included internal debate sessions, which will definitely help others to enhance their personality. I attended 100th anniversary of Lucknow University, where I got the chance to SEE Kumar Vishwas, Suresh Rain, etc. Moreover, I got the full scholarship for my course.

No. You can do either of them. Personally, do BA Hons political science because it has more scope than previous one. Best of luck. Please upvote.
