BHU: Students' Opinion

AI-Generated Summary based on 3 Reviews

Admission to the college is determined through an entrance exam with multiple-choice questions, conducted offline. A merit list is created post-exam, and selected students receive call letters via an online portal for counseling, where documentation is processed for admission. The faculty, mainly Banaras Hindu University graduates, are highly qualified and supportive. The academic structure includes three exams per semester: two seasonal tests (20 marks each), a 10-mark assignment/presentation, and a 70-mark final exam.

Regular seat students pay Rs. 2,000 per semester, while those on paid seats are charged Rs. 20,000 per semester. Placement opportunities are somewhat inconsistent, with students needing to seek industrial experience independently. Companies like Nestle and Sudha visit for campus placements in later semesters, with salary packages ranging from Rs. 5 to 10 lakh per annum, reaching up to Rs. 20 lakh per annum. The reported placement rate is 80%. Internships, either paid or unpaid, are available each semester.

The government of Uttar Pradesh provides scholarships for local students, covering semester fees and hostel costs. Undergraduate scholarships range from Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 50,000, with higher amounts for postgraduate students. Despite a recent fee increase, the Rs. 21,150 per semester cost remains low due to the college's government status. The 265-acre campus offers the Earn while Learn program, providing job opportunities for students. The course has six semesters over three years, with financial support available for economically weak students.
