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.

What is good about IIT BHU VARANASI.

Placements: In our batch, there are approximately 150 students. As in the recent placement sitting, about 80% got placed this year with an average package of 18 LPA. The highest package in our batch goes up to 50 to 60 LPA. Top recruiting companies include L&T, Tata Construction, etc. Roles offered are site manager, junior engineer, supervisor, chief engineer, etc.

Infrastructure: Our college has residential facilities. Our hostel is a seven-storeyed building allotted to second-year students only, which has lift facilities. There is a common hall on each floor. The reading hall is on the ground floor. Two canteens are there, which are open till 4 am. Our hostel has big washrooms and bathrooms with good sanitation. It also has washing machines installed, which provide affordable washing of clothes. Food in the mess is quite good and healthy. We are given three meals a day, starting with breakfast in the morning, followed by lunch and dinner.

Faculty: All the teachers are amazing. Everyone is very experienced and well-qualified. Some professors are notorious for strict attendance policies and for giving low grades but believe me, those who pay attention and study sincerely will get good grades. Teachers are well-qualified researchers. Some have graduated from foreign and were their respective university toppers. The curriculum is very helpful and aligned with the demands of the course. Semester exams are average to hard when comes to difficulty, but you can score good grades just by preparing one week before the exam.

Other: The best thing about this course is that you will have to do a lot of site work. You will not fed up just sitting in a classroom and reading theory. We have many labs that we need to perform on the entire campus, like surveying. We just go outside and continue the learning. We have three fests in our college: one is a tech fest known as Technex, another is a sports fest known as Spardha, and the other is a cultural fest known as Kashi Yatra. You will get a lot of opportunities in terms of scholarships to assist with your academic expenses.

Absolutely dissatisfied because of.

Placements: The placements in my college are pretty decent, I would say. The percentage of students who got placed in my college mainly depends on the cutoff, their caste, and the number of students applying for the course. Companies like Deloitte, Byju, etc., visit the campus. As for the remaining questions, sorry, I don't have any correct knowledge.

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. There is a lack of greenery in the campus, too many unwanted outsiders in the college, and no rules and regulations, etc. I had tried two fast food items from the college canteen, and they both were awful. It was really bad. No for canteen food from that time. Regarding medical facilities, I don't know. In terms of sports and games, there is an indoor auditorium in the college and a big ground (which has accountable trees) on the campus. It's decent, actually. Don't come with high expectations.

Faculty: I didn't get any fresher's fest, orientation, or festivals yet, but our 1st-semester exams are scheduled to start from the last week of this month. Honestly speaking, I am losing my last brain cell. I mean, what do they want from us? Seriously. Anyway, what can we do now? We aren't mentally prepared for the exams, especially I'm not.

Other: Decent feels. Extra curriculum. Nothing like that has happened yet, and I'm disappointed.

Indian Institute of Technology (BHU), Varanasi college review.

Placements: Placements at IIT BHU are a huge success. IIT BHU offers strong placement opportunities with a high placement percentage. Placements generally begin in the 7th semester. This year, 220+ people got PPO, and most of the mass got placed in the first 5 days of placement in December. We saw a huge diversity in companies that visit the campus for placements. Google, DeShaw, Oracle, Microsoft, Flipkart, Nvidia, Texas Instruments, Walmart, OLA, Zomato, Uber, Grow, PhonePe, Sprinklr are a few of them (a total of 250+ companies and profiles). Placement stats have improved a lot from the past year's recession period. TPRs are very friendly and supportive, and there is strict action against cheating in placements. Major profiles are Software, DA/this, Business/Consulting, Product, and Core. The highest (excluding PPOs) – DE Shaw 70 LPA, and Databricks 68 LPA for software profiles. Pace Stock Broking 75 LPA. The average package here is around 20-30 LPA. 10-20% companies: 7-12 LPA 40-50% companies: 13-21 LPA 30-40% companies: 22-40 LPA 10% companies: 45+ LPA Percentage of students getting placed: around 900+ already placed by the first week of December.

Infrastructure: Some hostels are old and need renovation, but major hostels are good, with good Wi-Fi LAN, geysers, vending machines, common rooms, canteens, cameras for security, badminton courts, big lawns, open surroundings, and greenery. There are plans to have ACs in common rooms as well. Meals are tasty and good, and we have a Satwik mess for only vegetarian food. The menu is nice. New hostels are being constructed: DG2 (7-floor boys' hostel, lift, 3-seater), Morvi-2 (9 floors, lift, 2-seater), IIT new girls' hostel, and many other hostels. Hostels' canteens are mostly open till 4 AM, so if your cravings speak after midnight, we got you covered. Some hostels are old, but renovation work is going on to improve them. Overall, the rooms are decent. First-year students get 3-seater rooms, while second-year students onwards have to stay in 2-seater rooms. No single rooms have been available until now.

Faculty: The faculty-to-student ratio at IIT BHU is 23:1. Faculty members are highly knowledgeable and experienced, with many holding doctoral degrees and having significant research contributions in their respective fields. The relationship between students and faculty is generally friendly and collaborative, with most professors being approachable for academic and research-related discussions. Semester exams: Mid-semester exams End-semester exams Mid-semester exams start approximately 1.5 - 2 months after the semester begins, and end-semester exams are approximately 1.5 months after mid-semester exams. The difficulty of exams depends on the professor. Semester exams are not too difficult if you study well. Some courses are easy, and one night of study is enough, while others are hard.

Banaras Hindu University Varanasi is a best opportunity for education.

Placements: The placement cell, CGTPC, organized placement drives and invited companies from various sectors of the industry. However, no one from B.Com. (Hons.) was placed. Placement drives were organized for other courses like MBA. I attended GD in placement and was shortlisted for PI but was ultimately rejected.

Infrastructure: There are various facilities available, including a free bus service on campus, free Wi-Fi, a cyber library that is open 24/7, and a personal desktop for each student. There are also department libraries and a central library.

Faculty: The faculty members and staff are very helpful. The professors are well qualified and have a lot of experience and knowledge. The course curriculum for B.Com. Hons. is up to date and follows NEP2020. The semester examination pass percentage is 100%.

Other: I am interested in accounting and entrepreneurship.

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.
