The University of Allahabad offers an undergraduate program accessible to students who have completed their intermediate education from a recognized board. Admission requires passing an entrance exam conducted in June, with rankings announced in July. The university is known for its experienced faculty, particularly in the science departments, and maintains an improving faculty-to-student ratio from 100:1 in the first year to 40:1 in later years. Tuition fees are affordable due to government funding, with annual costs such as INR 1,110 for MBA, INR 1,225 for BCA, INR 1,200 for B.Sc, and INR 37,000 for B.A+L.L.B.
Scholarships are available, including the UP Scholarship and National Scholarship, aimed at supporting students, especially from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Merit-based scholarships like the Merit cum Means Scholarship and the Inspire Scholarship for science students offer significant financial aid. Placement opportunities are primarily available for professional courses, with companies like Tata Consultancy Services, Wipro, and Federal Bank offering job packages between 4 to 5 lakh per annum. However, placement options for B.Sc.
students are limited. Internship opportunities arise in the final year, with specific placements depending on the course of study. The overall placement rate is relatively low, with students often preparing independently for government job exams. Despite the challenges, the university's accessible fee structure and scholarship programs make it a feasible choice for many students.
