Unforgettable campus life and top-quality education.
Placements: Mainly, few students with a combination of Geology or Chemistry are placed, and for the B.Sc. programme, one or two companies come in some years. In 2022, 5 students of the Geology department were placed at 25 LPA. Mainly, companies related to biological surveys offer a few internships. The main internship opportunities are ongoing research in college. More common roles are lab assistants.
Infrastructure: The whole campus is equipped with free-of-cost Wi-Fi. There is a central library, cyber library, and departmental libraries. Classrooms are equipped with blackboards, projectors, fans, and have good ventilation. Labs are very well organized, and they provide a separate microscope to each student. IMS BHU provides free-of-cost medical facilities to BHU students. There are many playgrounds and also many sports fests.
Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified, and most of them are educated from abroad. In BHU, B.Sc. programmes with subjects like Industrial Microbiology and Vocational Chemistry are very helpful to get a job in an industry or commercial labs. Semester exams are tough compared to other universities, but if you are taking daily classes, you can easily deal with the question paper. The passing criteria are 4 CGPA, and the passing percentage is above 90 percent.
Other: My subject combination was Chemistry, Industrial Microbiology, and Botany, which is a very good combination for the bio group to get industrial and lab knowledge.

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.

IIT BHU- Banaras Hindu University student review.
Placements: Around 82% of students got placed in our course. As we saw, even electrical students get a salary package of 1.68 CPA, and the highest salary package offered is 55 LPA. The average salary package offered is 25 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Google, Microsoft, McKinsey, and Goldman Sachs. The top roles offered are SDE and web develops.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of this college is very bad. The Wi-Fi facility is poor compared to other IITs. Classrooms are not air-conditioned and the library does not have many books. The hostel is newly built on the campus so it is a little better now and good. The food quality in the mess and canteen is good but the taste is not that good.
Faculty: Teachers are well-qualified, knowledgeable, and very friendly. They are always ready to solve our doubts. The teaching quality of the lecturers is excellent. The course curriculum is excellent, and it makes students ready for industry which is why the placements are mind-blowing. The semester exams are moderate level, and the pass percentage is about 90%.
Other: I chose this course because I liked the concept of electricity which I learned during my JEE preparation. The best things about the course are about laboratories where we can learn practically and are involved in doing some projects we love so much. Some lecturers are not very qualified for the course they should replace them. The events and extracurricular activities in this college are outstanding.

Great college overall really good placements and Varanasi city is really bad.
Placements: My branch is mathematics and computing at this university. My batch had 52 students at first, and now it has 57 students after 1st semester due to a branch change. As for the students of my branch who got placed this year 78.72% of students got placed in this year's MNC branch. The highest salary package offered is 54 LPA. The lowest salary package offered is 13 LPA. The average salary package offered is 32.66 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Goldman Sachs, Google, Microsoft, Flipkart, Amazon, Nvidia, JP Morgan, De Shaw, etc. Top roles offered are software development, data science, and quantitative research.
Infrastructure: My Department of Mathematical Sciences is fully equipped with Wi-Fi facility. Classrooms are really good all of them have projectors and most of them are air-conditioned. Libraries are also air-conditioned. It has both digital libraries with computers as well as reading libraries. Our hostel is excellent and affordable for freshers. The hostel is new and just opened this year. In the hostel, we have water coolers with constant water and electricity supply with fast internet connection both wireless and LAN. The mess food is good with a variety of dishes.
Faculty: I won't exactly say the teachers are helpful enough as some professors do not explain everything. It's hard to understand what's going on in the class, and students have to study on their own most of the time. The teaching quality is not good. The course curriculum is quite practical. It is balanced between Mathematics and Computer Science so it is an excellent choice that makes us industry-ready. We can also have more options to explore than any other branch students. The semester exams are easy to crack if students study well. Only a few students fail.
Other: I chose this course because I wanted to explore opportunities in quantitative finance, software development, artificial intelligence, and mathematics. Computing is a branch that helps explore all of these and many more diverse fields. My course curriculum does not have any subjects for artificial intelligence/machine learning which is disappointing. Artificial intelligence is a really big field of applied mathematics. It would be really good if they could include it in our curriculum. This university conducts 3 major fests annually like kashiyatra, technex, and spardha.

The reality of BVoc at BHU.
Placements: We are not provided with any placements facility and there is no placements cell in the college. While taking the admission, we were told that we will get a placements cell and our teachers will be field experts, but we are not given any such an opportunity yet. The coordinators give us internship applications through internshala which are not even relatable to our course.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the university as a whole is great. But speaking for my course, we don't even have a good classroom or clean washrooms. They do not focus on hygiene, especially in the faculty of arts . Rest of the departments’ facilities have a clean environment but not ours. There is no hostel facility for girls in our course, there is only one seat allotted to our class. The boys are given around 8 to 12 seats in the hostel. They get funding for building the hostel and the classrooms yet they do not put any efforts to work on the same. We have a lab assigned which does not have proper working systems but there are some computers which work in the labs. There is no AC which makes it very annoying in the summer season. We get free medical facility and medicines by the University. There is no canteen in the campus, there is only one food shop and a tea corner. We do have a UG library and a central library which can be accessed by the students of the campus. They organise inter-departmental sports competitions and the team winning these competitions gets recommendation by the University.
Faculty: The curriculum made for our course is great but the only flaw here is that they do not teach according to the curriculum assigned. They will teach using PDFs and would not put any efforts to give any practical examples. Even the teachers are not aware of the current technologies present in the market. The exams pattern is very similar to any other University, we have to give mid sem and then a final exam. As per my college, we have to give mcent at the beginning of semester. At the Banaras Hindu University, I am currently giving my semester 5th’s midsem examination.
