What Students Say

Likes

Outer surroundings are very clean and tidy.
The Professors are excellent at their work.

Dislikes

Classrooms cleanliness need more attention.
No timely notice by Professor of the class is cancelled for the saod day.

Course Curriculum Overview

The English Literature is one of today's very important and useful subjects. The Bachelor of Arts in English provides you deep insights and also motivates one to pursue higher courses like Master of Arts in English and also PhD programs. The classes need to be more regular as per my experience. I am satisfied with the frequency and timing of exams .

Class Size: 35Course Fees: INR 10000 per year

Internships Opportunities

Banaras Hindu University (BHU) offers various internship opportunities through its Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan Internship Programme. Initially, 100 positions are available in disciplines such as Library Science, Education, Physical Education, Visual Arts, and Performing Arts.

Placement Experience

The students become eligible for placements during the final year. Information regarding companies isn't available but the median salary is 8 lakhs per annum. Percentage of placements is a mere 13.5%

Fees and Financial Aid

For the Bachelor of Arts (English Honours) program under the SC category, the fee structure at BHU is highly affordable. The admission fee paid by me was 1,150, and the total fee for the 4-year course amounts to approximately 10,000. This makes it one of the most economical programs for students from reserved categories.

Campus Life

No one can get bored in Banaras Hindu University campus. There are different kinds of programmes like dancing, singing, instrumental organised almost every month. Winter carnival is also set up and donation drives are run. The campus has wifi and is sophisticated with technology. There are multiple playgrounds. There are clubs for dance, music, competitive exams, etc.

Admission

I also got admission in Shaheed Bhagat Singh College in Delhi University but declined it due to the distance of it from my hometown. I failed to make it to the Allahabad University due to higher cut off marks. For Bachelor of Arts in BHU, one need to apply for English, General Test and Mathematics subjects in CUET . I was very exhausted during the physical verification after my admission in the Banaras Hindu University. The staff was acting in a very mediocre way.

Faculty

The faculty-to-student ratio is good. My experience with the Faculty of Arts is good but the Faculty of Social Science needs to be more approachable. There are class tests every two months and internal assignments apart from semester examinations.

Night Life

There are good shops in and around the campus. The Central Library runs from 9 am to 9 pm. The hostels are strict regarding to night outings. Most famous place is the Vishwanath Temple. The localty is not very safe although, there are news in the past about certain mishappenings and criminal activities.

Perspective as a VCW student

Likes

Facility and infrastructure is really good . In facility we get good internet connection e.g , talking about labs too , we get well equipped class and materials needed for the test , sometimes it may be bit defective aur old.
Teachers are the best things about this college. Course curriculum are designed in the way that you cover everything about the topic infact , sec , aec courses are also designed in students favour only .
The campus area and environment is good too , you may find the campus area small but it's really beautiful and peaceful , there is gym , canteen , ground with basketball and badminton court . You may not get the top notch facility but its not worse.

Dislikes

The first thing could be interior and mangement of washrooms. Canteen could be more better and provide more options . In summer , other than library we get no other sitting area , except the open classroom which are in tolerable in heat.
The bus management is worse too, I left the bus service because of their management.
The fests are not worse but could be organized in more better way .

Course Curriculum Overview:

I personally find the curriculum to be well made and in favour wit the students. In teaching methods , the subjects that demand practical exposure should be given tasks to be conducted on the real life situation, like the opportunity we get during internship . They should provide task like that .

Great learning environment, experienced faculty, and value for money education.

Likes

The faculty members are very supportive, highly experienced, and always ready to help students with their queries.
The course fee is extremely affordable and provides great value for money for students in this region.
The campus has a peaceful learning environment with a good gender ratio of around 1:1 for boys and girls.

Dislikes

On-campus placement opportunities are limited, and students mostly need to look for off-campus jobs.
Campus infrastructure needs modernization, including better Wi-Fi access and updated lab equipment.
More practical exposure and industry-oriented training programs should be added to the curriculum.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I chose this course because it covers all essential topics required for higher studies. The curriculum is detailed and helps build strong subject basics. Teaching methods are traditional, so adding more interactive sessions and skill-based learning would be a great improvement. Exams take place every semester along with internal class tests, which helps in continuous evaluation without extra stress

Likes

The fees is affordable in comparison to Delhi University.
The scholarship scheme is definitely helpful for those who are economically weak.
The main campus has a central library so its quite helpful

Dislikes

The books in the central library are quite outdated
The lack of infrastructure in the affiliated colleges of AU
No merit based scholarship scheme available for the students.

Course Curriculum Overview:

I'm from humanities background so the course is quite relevant for me. The course is quite outdated however it's the same for most of the universities. the curriculum should be aligned with the competitive exams and the teaching methods should be more inclusive about the competitive exams so that the student can prepare well not only for the present course but also further upcoming exams.

Excellent Place for higher education

My college provide best education and hostel facility in india.Security is very good. Managment is very good.Transport facility inside the campus in now very good. Placements : The institute actually has very good placement records due to its outstanding alumni and also due to the presence of placement and training cell working day and night to indulge its students with skills and leadership. So, the placements in our college have never been a problem. Infrastructure : With almost hundred years on the calendar, our campus is luxurious from inside and filled with modern day necessities from inside. We have every resource that a student wants in his college life such as largely spaced room, Wi-Fi everywhere around the campus and many more things. So, the campus is unmatched. Faculty : The faculty members are nice, and I found them very helping and motivating. On the other hand, the course curriculum is a bit boring but essential too. A load of academics is very less compared to other IITs and hence students can do anything they want and could carry on their interest. I feel very proud to be a part of IIT BHU. Other : There are three main fests in our college, Kashiyatra, Technex and Spardha. All the fests are held at very high level. Participation from many IITs, NITs and other different colleges from many parts of India make our fests super big and exciting....Read More
