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.

The reality of BVoc at BHU.

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 ye...

College is very good and has very good infrastructure.

Infrastructure: Infrastructure is very decent and rich. Fests held every year include freshers' party. Library facilities are also decent; all books will be available which are used by us. Good clubs also include math and tech clubs. Hostel facility is average as sometimes we face Wi-Fi issues in the hostel and sometimes hot water issues. Other than those, all are decent enough, and the mess food is average, though varieties are offered. Table, chair, fan, cupboard, and shoe rack are provided in the hostel.

Banaras Hindu University is a very spiritual place, I recommend it for students.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is very nice. Everything is okay, like Wi-Fi, labs, classrooms, and the library. In our hostel, the quality of sports, canteen, and games is very poor. The Wi-Fi network gives nice speed. Medical facilities are very nice in college. There are two health centers: the first is personal for students, and the other is AIIMS for the public.

It is a very affordable college for middle class students.

Infrastructure: There are many conferences held in departments on a regular basis. The student well-being cell is there, which helps students for their good mental health. Akansha Fest is held in the faculty of science, in which writing essays, poetry, singing, dancing, drawing, and many more things are there to explore yourself in different modes every year.

Good infrastructure but can be improved. You can come here if you want a degree from BHU.

Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure here are good. The classrooms are spacious but not air-conditioned. There is a projector in every class, but they are rarely used for teaching purposes. Wi-Fi is available, and the hostels are well maintained. There are many hostels in our college, like Rohit Mehta Bhawan, but the mess food is not very good. The canteen area is very small and hygienic. There is no place to sit in the canteen. I don't like the canteen in my college, and I never eat from there.
