Placements-

The placements at BHU are above average. You might get to work in law firms, practicing in courts under a senior lawyer. Other corporate sectors or legal advisory jobs are also available. Many BHU students also prefer pursuing Judiciary.

My cousin was a student at IIT BHU in Varanasi. She shared her experience as to why she thinks it’s not a good branch for Mechanical Engineering.

• The professors are under qualified here. They have little knowledge about their own subjects and teach only bookish concepts. The classes are boring.

• Students attend classes merely for attendance. This is because even if you score good marks, you might fail if your attendance is less than 75% in that particular subject.

• The numerical answers are not checked through the stepwise method. That is your method to solve has no value if your answer is wrong.

• Professors here are not well versed with the relative grading system. This affects the CGPA of many students.

• Placements are mediocre here. Only non core sectors like coding and analytics get placement opportunities. The salaries offered are also very low.

• Labs are not equipped with modern tools. The students get no practical exposure.

The conclusion from her experience was that the professors in Mechanical Engineering at Varanasi IIT are bringing down the results of students terribly.

At BHU, MBA is a good option as it provides a lot of quality placement opportunities. But your own efforts to acquire knowledge of the corporate world matter the most. You cannot just complete a course and expect to be placed at an MNC. You have to be ambitious and put in maximum effort.

Some key points to be considered if you want to avail good placement opportunities are:

• BHU holds seminars at both national and international levels. By attending these, you can upgrade your resume for the better.

• If you are pursuing MBA Financial Management you must complete NISM (SEBI) and NCFM (NSE) Certifications which will give you practical knowledge of the share market.

• In this tech-savvy era, even MBA students should be well versed in Excel, MS Word, PowerPoint Presentation, and Tally.

• Creating an impressive CV requires- at least 2 internships at reputed companies, certifications from NISM, NCFM, NPTEL, SWAYAM and participation in national seminars.

• Practice well for the interview 

• Make the best use of your free time. Do as many internships as possible. Gaining a lot of experience will help you in the long run and you won’t regret investing your free time.

BHU MBA course is as valuable as that of any other college. You are bound to get excellent results if you invest maximum time and effort in the same.

My sister’s friend could not score a good rank in engineering but was lucky enough to get a seat in BHU UET for Maths Hons.

She shared her experience that this was the best decision of her life as she felt unique. She made a lot of memories and befriended many talented people.

She lived her college life to her fullest extent. From hostels to backlogs, she experienced all the fun. Despite creating hundreds of memories, today her batchmates are in IITs, 10% in IISc Banglore, 15% in IISERs, and 10% in IIMs. The others are booming in their own fields.
