What Students Say

Likes

The culture and environment in our college is very good.
Professors are very nice and supportive.
Best seniors who support us in every single thing.

Dislikes

The level of education is not so good. It is a bit overrated.
Also, sometimes, many classes get cancelled.
The food in some messes is not good for health.

Course Curriculum Overview

I'm currently persuing BA(hons) Geography from Faculty of Arts. I had interest in geography since class 10. Therefore, I chosen this course. Curriculum doesn't prepare us, we have to prepare ourselves. My suggestion would be that some more younger professors need to be there. Exams are generally easy and their cycle is also good

Class Size: 100Course Fees: INR 2300 per year

Internships Opportunities

I'm a student of first semester, so I have not done any internship. Also, I don't have any information regarding them. But I'll surely try to know about them in future, take experience from them, and develop myself.

Fees and Financial Aid

The fees is very affordable, it's about only Rs. 2300 per year, which is very less. The hostel fee for residing in only Rs. 4875 per year, which is, again, very affordable. But the mess fee is about 3000 per month, which is not so affordable. There are no other or extra fee than the above mentioned fees. The fees for all the categories in my course is same. Most of the students get UP scholarship here, around 8000 per year.

Campus Life

Fests like Deepotsav are good attractions here. Freshers party was average. Library is the best. It has collection of more than 15 lakh books. And so much space to study. All the facilities are good. Many sports competitions are organised every year month. There are a lot of clubs here, and anyone can join them according to their interest.

Hostel Facilities

Infrastructure is very good. We got a bed, almirah and table. Meal quality depends on mess. Our mess is good. Just after getting enrolled in university, hostel is alloted as per merit and distance. Overall, hostel life is good

Hostel Fee: INR 4875 per year

Admission

I applied for Lucknow University and Delhi University. But I chose BHU because it's a central university with good environment and also, it's easy to afford. I can't afford to live in Delhi. I made in all the colleges that I applied for, but chose this based on a practical analysis. Admission process is through CUET Exam. You just have to be 12th pass with atleast 75% in boards.

Faculty

The faculty to student ratio is about 1:50 in our college. The professors are supportive. Reaching them is moderately easy. At times, it's difficult to approach them. I like Arts Faculty, Science faculty, and IIT because these have so many extra co curricular activities organised. There's no such faculty that I don't like. Exams are generally easy to pass for everyone. We have only mid semester and end semester exams. Course curriculum is moderately relevant.

Night Life

There is a Shivaji Gym which is very big. Many libraries are present. Timing is around 8 to 5. Famous hangout places include Vishwanath temple (VT) and Bharat kala bhavan (Museum). Yes, locality is completely safe , even at night

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
