Philosophy student's review of BHU Arts faculty.

Infrastructure: LBS Hostel has very nice hostel facilities. However, only 15% of students are provided with a hostel based on their category, CUET score, and home distance. Non-hostellers have to find their own housing outside the campus.

Absolutely dissatisfied because of.

Infrastructure: The commerce lab and classrooms are fine, the library is decent, I would say. I have no experience in PG and hostels. The campus is not good but not bad either.

It was really bad. No for canteen food from that time. Regarding medical facilities, I don't know. In terms of sports and games, ther...

Great culture at IIT BHU .

Infrastructure: We have many classrooms with decent facilities like charging ports, Wi-Fi etc. While our hostel is great, we have a fast Wi-Fi connection, Washing machines, sending machines, a canteen, and geysers. Our mess is amazing (IIT BHU is known for its amazing mess food). We have more than 20 sports clubs with all the needed infrastructure. Medical facilities are free for IIT students.

Good infrastructure and beautiful campuses.

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.

It had a good placement in the year 2023-24 and good academic facilities.

Infrastructure: All basic facilities are available, such as Wi-Fi, well-equipped labs, furnished classrooms, and 24/7 library access. In the hostel, there are some issues, like irregularly hygienic food in the mess and some problems with drinking water. However, with complaints, these issues are noticed and addressed properly.

I am satisfied with this college as its faculty members are very good.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi connection is available everywhere like in classrooms and hostels 24/7. There is a library named Shreeniwas Das Central Library where you can borrow only two books on your core subject and two any other books. The quality of the mess food is very good. A canteen is available in every hostel. Machines are also installed in every hostel.

Campus life is very awesome, but there is a lack of support regarding placements and jobs.

Infrastructure: The Wi-Fi is overall good and fast. Hostels are very average, and food is also average. Library is biggest plus point of studying at BHU; both Main and Cyber libraries are awesome. There is ample space for sports, but infrastructure is not very good. Medical facilities are free and of top-notch quality.

Satisfied with academics and evaluation. Lack of placement opportunities.

Placements: Placements are less in the Bachelor of Arts course. Students with foreign languages, hospitality and tourism, and statistical skills may have a better chance. Placements mainly (here in BHU) are offered for Master's and special course students, such as those in management, hospitality, nursing, medical, vocational, etc.
