What Students Say
Likes
- BHU is known for its campus, and it is top notch. It is spread across almost 1300 acres and is full of greenery.
- As the university offers various disciplines, you get to interact with the students of other departments which helps in enhancing your network and you get to learn a lot about other fields too.
Dislikes
- The curriculum of BHU is more theoretically inclined and lacks practical aspect. My department doesn't offer any internship opportunities neither we were given any group projects or any research work during our graduation.
Course Curriculum Overview
The curriculum is more inclined towards a theoretical side and lacks practical exposure. In the present scenario, having practical knowledge is a must if you want to survive in the industry, which my college didn't prepare me for. However, there are various opportunities across the campus. We have AIC inside the campus, which may offer an internship to the students if they reach out to them.
Fees and Financial Aid
The fee for different courses may vary; mine was approximately 2000/yr, which we must pay in 2 installments. The hostel fee is about 6500 a year, and at the time of admission, we must pay a caution money of around 2000, which is refundable after your graduation.
Campus Life
Every department has its societies and clubs, and students from other department can also join them, which allows us to interact with the students of various departments. As for sports, you have ample opportunities, there are all kinds of sports and you can join whichevere of them you like. There is an overnight library facility available for the students, and an in-campus Wi-Fi facility.
Hostel Facilities
Not all students get a hostel as the seats are limited. Fortunately, I was able to get a hostel on campus. The allotment procedure is based on a combination of merit and the distance from your home. The mess food quality is quite good; you won't generally find such in other universities.
Admission
The university takes admission through an all-India test called CUET, conducted by UGC every year. You need to take the test in the required domain as per the eligibility citeria of the course you are interested in opting. I choose this university because of its prestige and legacy, it is quite affordable as well. I was fortunate enough to get admission there.
Faculty
The faculty of my department is quite knowledgeable; they all have a very strong foundation in their subject and are very supportive if you reach out to them. But the professors are focused more on the traditional way of teaching and provide theoretical knowledge rather than giving us practical insight. However, the faculty conducts workshops on various topics on a regular basis which can be helpful.
Night Life
We have a temple inside the campus, which is a tourist attraction; it's a good hangout place for the students. As the campus is spread across a large area, most of it gets deserted past 10 at night, but there are a few places where you can still hang out. As per my experience, I felt the campus was pretty safe and the guards do regular patrolling at night, but there have been a few incidents in the past.
