What is good about IIT BHU VARANASI.

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,...

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.

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. 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, ther...

Overall, my university is good, but the teachers are not good.

Infrastructure: I am a hosteler. My hostel name is Lal Bahadur Shastri Hostel, BHU, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. Lal Bahadur Shastri Hostel is so good. The hostel has proper Wi-Fi and everything, but the mess does not provide proper healthy food, and sports facilities are so good, and canteens are good.

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.

Except for the mess, everything is wonderful.

Infrastructure: There are many libraries in each hostel, in each department, and in each faculty. There is also a central library. The library facilities are outstanding, but the mess and canteen need improvement. You will have to face a little difficulty with food. You can visit many messes, compare their food, and then choose a mess that suits your food requirements. Excluding the mess, allthe facilities are fantastic, and I don't think there are any loopholes.

Shortly, I'll say this college is the best for an average student because the fees are very low.

Infrastructure: Talking about infrastructure, from the moment I stepped onto the campus of BHU, I knew I was in for a treat. The environment here is truly exceptional. It's a perfect blend of academic rigor, extracurricular opportunities, and a supportive community. My experience is amazing.

This university is exactly as I had imagined, in fact, it is even better than that.

Infrastructure: Classrooms and the library are good as well as old. I really feel a different type of connection with its classrooms, library, and my hostel room because I think many famous persons from different sectors (i.e. literature, politics, cinema, etc.) have also studied in these old classrooms, library, and also stayed in hostel rooms. Perhaps one of those people would also have lived in my room. But it's not that, being old, these classrooms or hostel rooms or library are not good. Actually, with tim...

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of my college is on the good side. Like all classrooms are not that good but have basic facilities like smartboard speakers. Many classes are high-tech also and the department is also on the better side. The library is huge and has all kinds of books. Hostels are also good, have free Wi-Fi, have a mess with good food quality, have a canteen and basic medical equipment. There is a gym also in the hostel and a badminton court also.
