Good college if you are really into studies; otherwise, there are many distractions.
Placements: There is not much placement in the LL.B. course, but maybe there are in LL.M. courses. The highest salary package I have heard of is 10 Lacs Rupees per annum. But placements are not regular in Banaras Hindu University, especially in this course. TCS has been the top recruiting company so far.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our university is the best. Full of greenery and wide roads. Wi-Fi is available at all buildings but not on roads. Classrooms are good but could have been better if we consider the fame of the university. Hostel facility is really good at a really low price, but mess facility is not that good except for a few hostels. Food is good but not the best. Sports and games are also played both in hostels and the college. Overall, it is good.
Faculty: Yes, the teachers are good and knowledgeable. Most of them have been to real interviews of judiciary as well. They set papers for judiciary too. Hence, here we have a very rich faculty. The course curriculum is totally designed to match the judiciary syllabus and is hence up to the mark. Passing exams is not so tough here, but maintaining attendance is. The pass percentage is 95%.
Other: Since I have chosen law, it is a great course. We could have better competitions like moot courts on a regular basis, and the classes for moot court could have been serious. The best thing for studying here is the lowest fee I have to pay, only 1,900 rupees for the whole year. Wi-Fi is everywhere in the campus too, making students' life easy.

Something about Banaras Hindu University.
Placements: The Banaras Hindu University provides placement only to students enrolled in the course of BA LLB. They provide placement through their placement cell team, and in placement cells, team members choose among students on the basis of extracurricular activities.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the Banaras Hindu University is based on the Gurukul model. This infrastructure is looking very antique because their infrastructure is very old, but recently some new buildings were constructed on the basis of need because the university expanded their courses.
Faculty: The faculty of law is very prestigious faculty on the campus of BHU. Every department respects the law faculty, and the faculty of law is the backbone of BHU. Law faculty exam conducted in the presence of the professor, those who teach, and marking of the copy is very strictly meaning if you have knowledge and write the answer on the basis of question, than ok, but if you write the answer not on the basis of question, than you definitely fail in the exam.

Faculty of Law, BHU (an institution that will give you quality education).
Placements: The B.A. LL.B. course was started in 2014 in the Faculty of Law at BHU, so only 5 batches have passed out since. Not all students were initially ready for jobs in the corporate sector, as many or all of them are focused on the judiciary. In the past years, Tata AIG has been coming to the university to offer PPOs to 5th-year students, and the average package they offered was around 6–7 LPA.
Infrastructure: The faculty infrastructure is improving day by day as new smart classrooms are constructed with speakers, projectors, and smart boards connected to computers. Hostels here provide double-occupancy rooms with 24/7 free electricity and water supply, with an average rate of $3500 per year. The mess provides food at Rs 50 for unlimited food and only closes at night. All the medical facilities, including medicine, are provided free of charge to students, and even a 24/7 emergency ambulance is always just a call away.
Faculty: Teachers are highly educated and professional, with years of experience in teaching. The curriculum is followed by the subjects and guidelines prescribed by the Bar Council, and the classes are run according to a minimum of 90 days of teaching per semester, followed later by exams.

I was fortunate to study in this college.
Placements: The placement of law faculty for LL.B. is not good because most of the students are not interested in it. Bhu law faculty is famous for producing judges so most of the students prepare for that. Although B.A. LL.B. has good placement record. Top roles offered by this course is judges, civil servants and academicians.
Infrastructure: Being a topmost central university it has all facilities like Wi-Fi, library well designed classrooms. Hostels are very good and affordable, canteen is fantastic. You won't have any problem regarding these matters. There are many health centres in the whole campus.
Faculty: Bhu law faculty has some professors who are one of the best in the country in their respective specializations. Course curriculum is more helpful for judiciary exam. Semester exams are very difficult to pass. There is attendance rule which is strictly followed.
Other: I chose this course because this college was best when it comes to judiciary preparation. I don't think there is anything which needs to be improved. Events, fests are also organised to lessen the pressure of study.

Review of Banaras Hindu University.
Placements: Our college provides less placements as it doesn't hold a great placement record. Many supreme court judges and many splendid supreme court lawyers are alumni of our university.
Infrastructure: Our college has the best infrastructure and the best library facilities. Students can easily find any book or any law journal in our library. It has Asia's biggest central library. Mess food quality is not good. Students get free medical facilities.
Faculty: Teachers are brilliant and the best. Our senior professors have more than 30 years of experience. Students need to gain a minimum of 40 marks out of 100 on every paper. Semester exams are easy.

Infrastructure: A Wi-Fi facility is available within the college premises, and the speed of the Wi-Fi is also fine. Labs, classrooms, and libraries are regularly cleaned and maintained. The quality of food at the college is also good, and they prepare different foods on different days. They also provide special food on special occasions.
Faculty: Teachers here are qualified, helpful, and knowledgeable. Their teaching quality is good, and they will definitely help you clear up the concepts. The course curriculum is relevant and it makes the student industry-ready. Exams are quite difficult.
