Course Curriculum Overview
The course curriculum was vast, well-designed, and updated somewhat regularly (once in 2-3 years). The faculty members were very well qualified (all had PhDs) and very competent and renowned, with multiple research publications to their name. In fact, one of my professors recently was even awarded the very prestigious Fulbright fellowship. Needless to say, the faculty reflect the brand name BHU carries.
Fees and Financial Aid
The fees are very minimal (to the tune of merely 2000 per year). There are scholarship opportunities as well. Given the cost of living is relatively low in the city, the cost to study is minimal. While there aren't campus jobs, one can earn via other part-time online avenues.
Campus Life
The infrastructure at the campus is antiquated but maintained, giving off an old-world charm. The campus is beautiful and full of serene natural beauty and spaciousness, being the largest residential University campus in Asia. The Central Library was recently awarded the best campus library in India, so, needless to say, there is no dearth of quality academic resources. Libraries at the faculty and department level are also well-stocked. Various faculties and departments conduct their own fests, so the campus is always buzzing with activities. There are all kinds of student-run clubs, and steller sports facilities (there's even an airstrip for the aviation club).
Admission
BHU conducts its own entrance tests for the various courses offered. The entrance test for Arts undergraduate courses had 150 questions from 4 areas - maths, logic, language, general knowledge & current affairs. General knowledge entailed questions from history, biology, civics, etc.
