    I like all the facilities of given by BHU to me. But yes department is not very good.
    Placements: Approximately 50-60% were placed on campus placement. The highest package was 16lpa from 2022 batch and average package was 8lpa and the lowest package was 3-4lpa. The companies are unthinkable, TCS, Infosys, zopsmart, Live Areas, information objects etc. Not much more students got internship but yes some of them gotted by the off campus opportunity. I think most of the students are selected for role Full stack developer and Android developer. But from this year may be there are many roles like blockchain developer, data Science, many more. Because some of the best demanding technology are added in the MCA course.
    Infrastructure: Yes the campus is fully Wi-Fi. And there are only two class room in computer Science department where B.Sc. M.Sc. MCA classes are going on. Make sure I am only talking about our department not others. There are all the facilities like gym, medical, sports and games and many more which is best thing of BHU. The quality of the food in our hostel is below average not good as much be expected but price is also low so food is based on the price are good.
    Faculty: According to me the teaching quality is not good. But yes teacher are helpful. Yes this is the professional course and also make the students industry ready. Semester exam is difficulty but don't worry if you study well then there is no problem to you. You easily pass the exam. Passing percentage is 40% out of 100 is compalsary.
    Other: I want to work in IT sector so that's why I choose this course because at my BCA level I didn't get the opportunity to beat the B.Tech students. Yes there is need of improvement in the MCA course. Because of some of the subject are research based so I think that subject waste our time because Nobody choose MCA for researchers.
