Course Curriculum Overview
I choose English literature because of my love for literature. There is no other reason. There are approx. 130 to 200 students in my course. Because there were 3 to 4 sections in English course. Teachers are good and have good command in their field. Every teacher I had during my graduation was helpful and kind. It was 3 years of full-time course divided into 6 semesters. Exams were moderate to hard depending upon how much a student has prepared. It was not hard to pass the exams. The questions came from previous years' papers and the topics which our teacher had already discussed in the class.
Placement Experience
Most probably students of the 5 and 6th semesters are eligible for placement. Companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple, Samsung, etc. Students received around 25 LPA to 30 LPA on average. Sometimes they get a 1 crore package from foreign companies. My plans after getting the degree are to look for a job related to my field.
Fees and Financial Aid
The fees were moderate. Any middle class can afford to study at Banaras Hindu University. There was a sudden increase in the fees in the 2022 year. But it was not even that high. Recently Anne Besant fellowship is being provided to PG students who have completed their PG. This fellowship is given to those who have scored 8.5 cgpa in the 3rd semester. The benefit of this fellowship is that students who have completed their PG can get a direct chance to take admitted to Ph.D. They don't have to take any exams. Selection would be based on the interview. The stipend will be provided to those students who will clear the NET/JRF within one year after their admission.
