Top of the college in India.
Placements: 75 percent, if you got, you chose for master and professor degree, 20 thousand as a teacher in a college. Every student did an internship with different organizations and foundations. Teaching as a teacher in college, I participated in an Aasman foundation for an internship. I also participated in seminars.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi and labs are available in the college. Classrooms have a 50-student capacity. There is a library also in college where you have to study silently. I have the Department of English on campus. The hostel has a mess, washing machines, a bed, a cooler, a wardrobe, etc. There are also medical facilities, a canteen, and a ground for sports.
Faculty: Teachers and professors were so helpful. They completed their Ph.D. then they taught us. Their teaching is so impressive and emphatic. The semester exam is of moderate level. If you study well, 40 percent needs to pass in a subject. The minimum you have to obtain is 50 percent marks.
Other: B.A. English honours choose. The department of English is so good. Teachers and professors were so helpful. They completed their Ph.D. then they taught us. Their teaching is so impressive and emphatic. Semester exam.

Very nice exposure. Infrastructure is good.
Placements: Placement is not good for the faculty of arts. Students are hardly placed anywhere. Even records of placement for Science are not good; they need a big level of improvement. There is no placement cell for our B.A. Arts subjects. I am completely dissatisfied with placements.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure of faculty is very good and hostels are well maintained, and all facilities are available. Quality of food in the mess is average, but better than outside mess. Food in the canteen is also good. Medical facilities are the best, and we are not charged even a single rupee.
Faculty: Teachers are good, but they are not present in class sometimes. Many times, they send their research scholars for teaching us. This course curriculum doesn't make students industry-ready. The difficulty of semester exams is average; we can pass them by a week before the exam.
Other: Exposure is awesome, but studies are not.

Campus inside our college is beautiful. Teachers are mostly good by nature.
Placements: I am still pursuing my degree, so I can't say much about placements. However, our college organizes events that focus on career options and skills which are necessary for future purposes. They also consult students about difficulties that they may face in the future due to a lack of skills.
Infrastructure: Classrooms are in moderate condition. Wi-Fi is available inside classrooms. Our college has a well-equipped library on campus, which provides most of the books that students need. Infrastructure is good. There is a central library available, with a lot of books and manuscripts.
Faculty: Teachers are qualified on the basis of their teaching. Their way of communicating with students is quite good. Semester exams can be tough if we don't follow the syllabus and rely only on lectures because sometimes they leave important topics.
Other: Our college organizes many events and fests. There's always something happening on campus.

Overall, my university is good, but the teachers are not good.
Placements: Placement is not good. Most students are not placed, and those who are placed receive a very minimum package. So my opinion is that BHU placement for B.A. Arts is not good. Something should be done for management courses, and at least all students should be placed.
Infrastructure: I am a hosteler. My hostel name is Lal Bahadur Shastri Hostel, BHU, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. Lal Bahadur Shastri Hostel is so good. The hostel has proper Wi-Fi and everything, but the mess does not provide proper healthy food, and sports facilities are so good, and canteens are good.
Faculty: My semester started very late, and mid-semester exams are coming, but the teacher is very strict. The teacher provided assignments very late and had an attendance program. My semester exam is very difficult because the teacher did not read and complete the syllabus.
Other: My university campus is so good. The crowd and water are very nice. College events are very good.

I'm satisfied with everything that college offers.
Placements: I'm a student of the geography department. Around 50% of students get placed. The average salary package offered is approximately 6 LPA. Around 80% of students secured internships in companies like Internshala, etc. College provides good guidance to the students.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure, labs, classrooms, library, Wi-Fi, and other facilities are good at the campus. Hostel provides facilities such as a mess, free Wi-Fi, a room with a capacity of two, etc. In rooms, a table, a chair, and a bed per person are provided to every student.
Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified, experienced, and helpful. Exams are moderately difficult, neither too easy nor too tough. Teachers guide us on study techniques and exam writing strategies. It makes easy for us to score good marks in exams.
Other: Campus experience is good and there is a lot to explore.
