BHU is itself a renowned college there is no second thought if the person gets a college with NIRF rank 5. And about Vasant Kanya Mahavidyalaya it has the best faculties .yes i applied to other colleges as well like DU, Lucknow etc and I even got confirmation from Lucknow university but i preferred Bhu as it is near to my home town and as I said earlier. The admission process is very easy after online submission according to your preference list and your score you get your subjects and then you come to college for orientation and physical verification.

I applied into two universities BHU and DU. I got selected into both the univeristies in their first round allocations itself. I got Miranda house in Delhi university and Faculty of Arts in Banaras hindu university. But i chose to study in BHU because my hometown is Varanasi and my parents wanted me to stay here and complete my graduation so i couldn't make it to delhi university. I knew i lose a very good opportunity but i am okay with the things in bhu too. Basically the procedure for admission is firstly you have to give CUET examination conducted by NTA and then your General test and English marks will be calculated for getting admissions in bhu. Then based on marks of cuet university will take admissions, release cut offs and the cut offs are relevantly high.

I got a confirm in mission in three other colleges the first Zakir Hussain college of the Delhi University for a ba honours in English and mathematics but considering it was in a area not considered safe for girls and the course reputation being a little strict, I turned down the opportunity. I also got a confirmed in mission alloyd business school greater Noida however their course was more marketing and artificial intelligence oriented rather than are regular bachelors in business accountancy. Also want to confirm admission from galgotias University greater Noida however they curriculum structure was very unclear as described in their teaching module and the reviews of the student studying their were not positive about the professors. VCW offers how much better curriculum as well as a much supported faculty and much more opportunities then the private universities I have previously and enrolled in , affiliation to the Banaras Hindu University which is known for there world class history and archaeology courses. My selection to these universities was based on my marks in the CUET exam.

But as it is far from my home and i got Banaras Hindu University (VCW) which is a grade A++ college and it's near my location so that's why i chose that.and i haven't got rejections from any other colleges.

The BSc (Maths) entrance exam is BHU is one of the easiest exams. You can score fairly good marks by just going through your 12th-grade Maths, Physics, and Chemistry books. Study Chemistry from NCERT book. A thorough study of the following chapters will get you good marks:
Biomolecule
Polymer
Animes
Chemistry in everyday life
The questions in the entrance exam are mostly based on direct concepts or formulas.
As far as the number of marks necessary is concerned, there is no fixed digit. But at least attempt 70 questions without mistakes. This means you need to score at least 210 marks out of 450. However, this number keeps changing based on the pattern of the question paper.
BHU BSc Agriculture cutoff stays around 205-210. However, this is an approximate value, the required cutoff changes each year. Every year BHU receives around 73000 forms for UET. On average almost 300 students fight for a single seat. Even if you had Agriculture at the intermediate level, you will face strong competition.
The required cutoff for BHU BA program is as follows.
BHU UET Cutoff 2021 for BA Hons Arts -
Categories | Cutoff |
General (M&F) | 1958-3181 |
OBC(M&F) | 1211-2210 |
Naturally, the cutoff varies each year based on the difficulty level of the question paper. If you clear the required cutoff, you need to participate in the counseling, to claim admission.
To know how to get admission to BHU through a paid seat, you must first know what exactly a paid seat is.
Every year BHU conducts entrance exams during the months of April, May and June. After this, the university releases the cutoff list. The students who fail to reach the cutoff but are just slightly below it are offered paid seats.
The admission process of both regular and paid seats is the same. A call letter will be sent for counseling.
The biggest drawback of paid seats is that the fees are extremely high compared to the regular ones.
You did not mention the course you need to get admission to BHU or which category you belong to, so it will be difficult to say if a 245 score in CUET is enough to get admission to BHU.

Candidates who are seeking admission to BHU must meet the eligibility criteria prescribed by the university. Generally, the eligibility for all the BHU programs is as follows:
For years, there's been a doubt lingering among Indian students. Is BHU for Hindus and AMU for Muslims? Though both universities might include Hindu and Muslim in their names, they welcome students from all walks of life. Candidates belonging to any caste and religion can pursue higher education in BHU.
The university was solely established to promote learning and research generally in Arts and Sciences in all branches and to advance and diffuse such scientific, technical, and professional knowledge, combined with the necessary practical training to promote indigenous industries and to develop the material resources of the country. Moreover, the university also reserves seats for certain minority-category students.
