If you want to pursue linguistics then BHU has some of the best faculty for the subject.
Placements: Linguistics is a field of study which offers wide range of research opportunities as well as jobs. However, in India we don't have many jobs available as of now. There are some companies like Welocalize which offer job roles such as translator, linguist, lexicographer etc. But there aren't many vacancies. Computational linguistics is also a great option for jobs but one require knowledge of some programming languages and basic coding.
Infrastructure: BHU is famous for its old buildings and ancient style infrastructure. We have a central library in campus which is open for all students. Labs, classes and departments are a bit rusty but are okay. Medical facilities are at best since for students all facilities are free.
Faculty: Faculty in linguistics department are the best. They are well experienced and knowledgeable. The curriculum for Masters is well structured and follows the latest research in the field. The semester exams are moderate and one can pass easily. There are many fests organized throughout the year.
