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.

I am fully satisfied with my decision to pursue my graduation from Banaras Hindu University.

Placements: I am currently pursuing my graduation from Banaras Hindu University in Hindi honors. Placements from my college are decent. A maximum of the students who got placement are from foreign languages as their honors subject. Only a few of you students who are from my course have got internships.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of my college is very good. I like the classrooms, the hostel rooms, and the library very much. All facilities are available in classrooms, libraries, and hostel rooms. Mess and the canteen of my hostel provide good foods and are fully hygienic. Every hostel of my university has its own very large playground.

Faculty: The teachers of my college are very supportive and very talented. The professors are very familiar with the students. All professors are well qualified and eligible. Exams are conducted timely and frankly. The semester exams are decent, not very difficult or not very easy. I like the exam process of Banaras Hindu University.

Other: I want to prepare for one-day exams, and here is the best environment for the preparation for one-day exams, and also this campus is full of greenery and spirituality, so I decided to pursue my graduation from Banaras Hindu University. There are about 30,000 students at Banaras Hindu University, but because this university campus is very large, it doesn't seem full of a crowd. Banaras Hindu University is one of the largest residential universities in the world.

Good infrastructure and beautiful campuses.

Placements: In my course, there are no placements possible because it's a Social Science course in which placements don't take place. However, students pursuing this Social Science course can apply for many internships through which they can be hired by companies.

Infrastructure: The library and classrooms are very well-cleaned and large in size. There are also a few smart classes where we learn a lot. The infrastructure of the hostel is very good, and the food is also okay, but it contains a lot of oil and spices, which can harm our health.

Faculty: Most of the teachers are responsible for their duty, and some of them are very good in nature and at their work, although some of them do not take classes. Semester exams come after every three months and take place for one and a half months with a lot of gaps in between.

Other: My main paper is Political Science, and I want to be a professor, so I chose this course. Improvement in the management of semester exams and other documentations is needed. There are a lot of events conducted on the campuses, which are a lot of fun.

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.

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.

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.
