Doctor Hari Singh Gour University features a faculty of qualified teacher-scholars, though large class sizes result in a high teacher-student ratio of 180:1. This can make it difficult for all students to engage fully in lectures, but teachers strive to address individual doubts. The university's exams are conducted regularly, with two midterms of 20 marks each and an end semester exam of 60 marks per paper, manageable for consistent students.
Faculty members are generally supportive and committed to student success, although some are less enthusiastic about teaching. Prior to COVID-19, placements were robust with students securing jobs by the fifth semester at an average package of 3.5-4 LPA. However, placement drives have been inactive for the past 2-3 years. Internship opportunities, mostly unpaid, focus on trainee teaching roles in schools like Kendriya Vidyalaya. The university is central with affordable fees, especially beneficial for lower-income students, though courses like B.Tech have seen fee hikes.
The BABEd course fee is about 7300 INR annually. The university does not offer its own scholarships but facilitates access to central and state scholarships, notably for OBC, ST, and SC students, with minimal fees like a 25 rupee caution fee. Economically weaker students receive campus job opportunities and stipends, though general category students have limited scholarship options.
