    BHU is a great life in itself.
    Placements: Placement of physics honors is low. Only the top 10 percent get placed that too only in edtech companies. The highest package is around 8 Lacs per annum. An internship is available in the last semester, and all students benefit from it. Most students aim to become teachers and government servants.
    Infrastructure: 1300-acre campus with free Wi-Fi is available. Free medical, student health and sir sunderlala hospital is free for students treatment. Food is top-notch with only 50 rupees per meal. Classrooms have CCTVs, smart boards, etc. Labs are little old but have enough equipments to perform experiments.
    Faculty: Teachers are very good; they interact with students and make sure that each child gets the concept. They also help with non-academic works. The course doesn't make students industry-ready but gives vast knowledge of subjects. Semester exams are tough, with around 40 percent failing the exam so you need to focus on studies.
    Other: BHU is the top institute but most of the students are from Bihar and Up. There are many defense aspirants over here working together to pass SSB. The only improvement required is to add more practical approach in studies. There are not many fests, but there are other activities that will help improve personality, such as NCC, NSS, leadership courses, etc. Sports is top-notch here.

    Not the expected college life but academics is worth it.
    Placements: I'm pursuing a bachelor degree here. So I would like to make it clear first. That there's no placement after B.Sc. However, once you pass out Masters, you'll surely get placed at a good place. Many of you would have heard about Garima Goel, ma'am. She was placed into Aakash Delhi through college placements from BHU.
    Infrastructure: So, I would say it's above average. They have a proper Zoology lab along with the specimens for us to study. Classrooms have good seating arrangements. Library is, I would say, way too good. There is a central library, a cyber library and also our own library in MMV with a spacious reading room, book catalogues and everything. Wi-Fi is available inside the campus with a good speed. I don't think the hostel infrastructure is really good since I rejected the hostel. The buildings are quite old but you'll get good food as compared to other places outside. You'll have your health card for consulting doctors in the health center. There are many opportunities for sports enthusiasts.
    Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified and they teach so well. I would say the academics here are top-notch. They teach us the theory in the classroom and in the laboratory, they'll introduce us to the reserved specimens and ask us to study about them and several features that they possess. Exams here are, I would say, a bit on the tougher side surely but that's for your own good in the long run.
    Other: I chose to pursue a B.Sc. Hons. Zoology since I had previously prepared for NEET and it was my favorite subject out of those I studied. The best thing is you get to know more deeply about the human body and other co-existing animals around us. Events are organised every now and then. But I would say most of it is for arts faculty people, since science ones have too hectic schedules of their own. There are so many workshops happening here quite often.

    Absolutely worthy.
    Placements: There is no placement. No package. Neither the highest nor the lowest placement. No recruiting companies anyway. Very few candidates get internships from companies and the government. Through this course, your field is open for doing approximately everything like intern assistance, etc. But the world is open for you.
    Infrastructure: Infrastructure is very good, Wi-Fi, library, and other basic facilities are available. Hostel rooms are in very bad condition, mess situation is average, and changing mess is possible. But the point is that you can eat in any hostel's mess on a daily paying basis or monthly basis. Sports competitions run throughout the whole year in variation and all types.
    Faculty: Teachers are good in teaching, qualified too, and regular. There is no industry-ready course. Exams are quite hard and always cover the whole syllabus with 40% passing marks. Very few students face backlogs in semester exams. The environment for other competitive exams is ready.
    Other: It's a very good university, but I suggest you come only if you really want to grow yourself in this field. Events, fests, extracurricular activities, scholarships—approximately everything is here.

    Best campus life and you can join it.
    Placements: About 40% of the students were placed during the campus recruitment. Some changed their streams due to different orientations towards different subjects . But overall, the placements are remarkable at this university. Internships are also taken good care of.
    Infrastructure: The wifi, classrooms, and library are first-rate and well-maintained. Medical facilities are supreme; one can get the best treatment. The mess charges were minimal but provided good-quality food. They have a proctorial board for the establishment of safety and security.
    Faculty: Teachers were highly qualified and knowledgeable. Most of them have completed their postdoc from renowned universities like Cambridge, etc. The course curriculum is very relevant to day-to-day life. The pass percentage is also high. The teachers are very helpful.

    The best on-campus experience across the country.
    Placements: It is not a technical course, so placements are almost nil. However, coaching classes are available. Top recruiting companies include Aakash and Physics. Placement records are strong for certain departments, such as the Department of Geophysics.
    Infrastructure: Classes and hostels are well-built, with Wi-Fi connectivity and RO water facilities. Medical services are available at two levels, one exclusively for students, and the second at Sir Sundarlal Hospital. The grounds provide facilities for various sports, and the library is simply unmatched.
    Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified and experienced. Teaching quality varies from teacher to teacher, but overall, it is good. The syllabus is relevant for exams like IIT JAM, CUET PG, and other postgraduate entrance exams. Semester exams are more challenging compared to those at other institutions.
    Other: We lack a fest culture, but there is strong connectivity between seniors and juniors. We have a "bhaiya-didi" culture with seniors, instead of addressing them as "sir" or "madam." Various scholarships are provided by BHU, as well as by different state governments.

    Campus is good and big, and teachers are humble.
    Placements: There aren’t many placements right after completing B.Sc. Chemistry, but some people still manage to get placements, although the packages aren’t very high. If you're considering further studies, I would suggest pursuing a PhD first before looking for a job. It will make it easier to secure a good placement.
    Infrastructure: The infrastructure is good, and the campus is quite big—sometimes it feels like you might get lost in it. However, there aren’t many hostels on campus, and the rooms are small. As a first-year student, it's very hard to get a hostel. Overall, the campus is big but a bit old.
    Faculty: The faculty is fine—the teachers are humble, helpful, and knowledgeable. But since there are so many students, there should be a mic in the classrooms, which isn't provided. This causes issues because professors don’t always speak loudly enough.
