BHU overview : you'll get to know more about it.
Placements: Placement opportunities are very low in this stream. We get placements after our post-graduation sometimes. A bachelor's degree is not enough in this field; you need to excel more in this field in order to get placed.
Infrastructure: The facilities provided here in campus is some of the best in India. They'll provide you with lots of facilities, like free transportation in campus for girls, mostly in bus form, a huge temple, hospital access via health card, a library with almost every book you need, playgrounds, a gym, a swimming pool facility, etc.
Faculty: Faculty members here at BHU are well educated and mostly have doctoral or post-doctoral degrees. The curriculum is based on your subject and it's not that hard and fast, according to students and can be read by anyone who has qualified for the for the 12th standard in this particular stream.
Other: BHU is highly recommended in order to study; you'll get a better experience there.

A Botanist Review about BHU.
Placements: In Botany Hons. subject only the students of a high ranker can get placed. And also get a high rank in CSIR NET. The companies which give us jobs are Allen and Aakash and other coaching institutes. The minim packages they give are 10lakh-32 Lacs per annum which is good.
Infrastructure: Hostel Contains Mess which is very good and Free Wi-Fi is provided which is very fast. So overall Those who got hostels live a lavish life. Two people are given one room and room size is also big. So there's no problem in that. Also there is regular cleaning in hostels and washrooms are of Mall level quality.
Faculty: Faculty members are like in any other college some are good some are best and some are the worst. But the exams and publishing of result is On time and there is no biasing. Also the faculty members help you in every thing. The practical here are done on time and you will learn a lot doing practical.
Other: Campus life is great. It has one of the biggest campuses in country. With a good crowd.

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.

Amazing college as it provides a lots of opportunities.
Placements: Mostly students from my course choose to go for higher studies such as Masters instead of seeking placements. As far as placements are considered, B.Sc is divided into several subjects, mine is psychology. The college provides internship opportunities for students to help them in placements, specially the upcc and BHU.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi works very well and labs are well-equipped. There are 2 libraries, one for faculty and other one is central library. Classrooms are spacious the faculty is good. Science labs are extremely good. All the labs are equipped with materials required for curriculum and beyond.
Faculty: Faculty is excellent as far as my course is concerned. Professors are extremely qualified. They are helpful and humble. Curriculum keeps getting updated at regular intervals. It has gotten updated just this year. Syllabus is relevant from internship point of view.
Other: You would get to explore a lot during college life.

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.
