I am highly satisfied to be a student of VBU.
Placements: About 60% of the students got placements in respectable companies. The salary package offered varies from 3 LPA to 8 LPA. Students from our course don't get recruited, so we need to complete our MA for recruitment. Some private companies may hire you if you are good at content writing or proof checking. After pursuing this degree, students can be civil service aspirants, and after completing an MA, you can be a teacher or government employee.
Infrastructure: Shantiniketan is known for its beauty and heritage. Our department has all the necessary facilities like Wi-Fi, classrooms, library, canteen and seminar auditorium, but there are no labs. Our university has 24 hostels in total. Our hostel is old and poorly structured, but the food is decent with Pearson Memorial Hospital nearby. You can get a subscription to the gym and sports department as well.
Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified, and they teach very professionally. Shantiniketan has a unique culture where we call our teachers and professors brothers and sisters. The course is relevant enough to make students industry-ready. Semester exams are a bit tough, and the pass percentage is 85%.
Other: I have chosen this course because I like English, and I want to be a professor. The hostel food, old buildings and the fee structure should be improved. Authorities should look into the matter.

Q:   Can I get direct admission to BA at Visva Bharati University?
ShikshaGPT says
A: 

The admission to BA courses at Vidya Bharati University is primarily based on CUET scores. Also, candidates who are willing to secure a seat in the BA course must complete their Class 12 with decent scores. However, a CUET-UG score is not required for some BA specialisations available at VBU. For taking admission without CUET UG scores, candidates should have secured good scores in Class 12 so, they can be selected in the merit list. Therefore, candidates are not allowed to get direct admission to BA courses, they either have to get selected in the merit list or score well in the CUET UG entrance examination.
