BHU: 70 Answered Questions

Why do students leave BHU?

Amita SantraEconomics from Banaras Hindu University (Graduated 2018)

Although BHU has the best faculty and management, many students tend to leave BHU after a few days. They feel isolated and homesick. Also, the teachers have a lot of political influence. The administration does not let you take a stand for yourself. A lot of inter students riots take place here.

Also, BHU has a sustaining hierarchy and preferential treatment that seeps down to the education part as well. Ex-students become professors without external exposure. So they bring much lesser value in terms of ethics, fair marking, and admission system.

I think these are some minor reasons why students keep leaving BHU after admission.

Is BHU good for an MBA and placement?

Siddhartha GuptaMaster's Management Studies, Banras Hindu University (2020)

Yes, BHU is a good option for an MBA. It maintains a good placement record every year. IMS BHU placement highlights for recent years show a highest CTC of INR 18 LPA. The average package for MBA stays around INR 8.4 LPA. Many MNCs like L&T, SBI, IBM visit the campus placement.

One other reason for joining BHU MBA is the highly skilled faculties. The faculties of the institute are highly revered in the academic circle. Most of the faculty members have over 10 years of experience.

If you are looking for a decent MBA course and want to take home a good job offer at the end of the degree, IMS BHU is a good option.

What is the hostel fee at BHU including mess charge and everything?

Payal GuptaStudies at Indian Institute of Management Rohtak (2024)

Firstly, the hostel fees at BHU vary from course to course. So all I can do is give you a rough estimate through the information I got from my sister who pursued B.Sc from BHU.

Hostel Fees

1st semester stood: INR 2666
2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th semester: INR 1290 (regular fee and hostel fee both)
3rd, 5th, and 7th: INR 3190 (regular fee and hostel fee)

Mess Charges:

INR 40 for a simple diet
INR 60 for special
INR 80 for chicken

Usually, there are 2 diets a day and on Sundays, there is only one diet. But the Sunday meal is special so it is counted as a double diet. So the approximate price stands at INR 80-100 per day.

If you skip the meal or go home then you can tell Mess Maharaj and you won’t be charged.

What is the Paid Seat system at Banaras Hindu University (BHU)?

Anika Sinhalives in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India

The paid seats system is a system for students who wanted to get admission to Banaras Hindu University but were unable to secure the qualifying ranks. In such a case, he/she can choose to pay the extra fee which is called the Paid seat system. These seats are available up to 5-10 seats in all courses and are reserved as paid seats. This is for those students who got a good rank but missed the campus seat with a very less difference in index.

Procedure

Fill in the paid seat form online or during the counseling process. Paid seats are available both for the main campus and affiliated colleges.
Your chances of getting the paid seats to work on the number of available seats and your index rank. For instance, if the cutoff is 280, and your marks are in the range of 270-279 you can secure your admission to the campus.
The portal will release the result and you can check it on the concerned day.

Fees structure

Paid seats cost extra fees in addition to the semester fees. For example, if your course fee is Rs. 2000 and your paid seat fee is Rs. 25000 so the total fees for the semester will be INR 27000 but the fees for next semester will be the same as a regular seat.

For more information, consider checking the notice board regarding the fee structure for further reference

How many marks have been necessary to take admissions in the BHU (math)?

Vishal KumarBSc from Banaras Hindu University

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.

Which is better BHU or AMU?

Sakshi TripathiStudied at Banaras Hindu University

BHU and AMU are sister concerns. Both institutes carry forward the same legacy so I don’t think they are comparable.

People usually want to believe that these biased universities will divide Hindus and Muslims and worsen their relations. But that’s not the case.

Both universities are loyal to their cause- Education.

As an AMU student, my sister loves her university. She has never visited BHU but she is sure BHU students love their university equally as well.

So I don’t think the two universities stand a chance of comparison when they both are equally good.

Which is better BHU or DU?

Anumita SinhaEconomics from Banaras Hindu University (2018)

To say, one of these is better than the other will be an oversimplification. You should choose BHU or DU based on the course you are interested in. Here is a streamwise comparison of DU and BHU.

Arts - For English and Economics, DU is better. BHU courses are better for Sanskrit, Hindi, Geography, and Philosophy. For the rest of these subjects, these institutes are at a similar level.

Science - BHU is slightly ahead for most of the science stream.

Commerce - For commerce courses, DU is definitely better.

Engineering - It won’t be fair to compare IIT BHU with DU. The former is way ahead of the latter.

Management - FMS is a tier 1 B-School and arguably the best non-IIM school in the country. IMS BHU ranks nowhere near FMS.

Law - For law degrees, DU has a slight advantage because of its location.

Medical - IMS BHU is one of the best medical institutes in the country.

Academics are more or less the same at BHU and DU. However, big names like St. Stephens, SRCC, LSR, etc. are a little ahead of BHU in terms of teaching quality. BHU offers better research facilities, especially for science courses. DU is way ahead of BHU in terms of corporate jobs and civil services.

BHU offers a better campus experience compared to DU. But if we talk about location, choosing a metropolitan city, Delhi will be more advantageous. You will have greater exposure and opportunities

The video comprises a comparative analysis of both universities

If you are getting into one of the top colleges at DU. You should go for it. If you are getting an average college, it’s still better to prefer DU for Commerce, Economics and English. BHU science faculty is good. If you are interested in a Science degree, you can choose BHU.

Hows the hostel life at BHU?

Ashok SinhaB.A(hons) Psychology from Banaras Hindu University

BHU offers an enviable hostel life. The hostels are within walking distance from class, library, hospital, playground, gym, and pool. There are 24*7 WiFi facilities available on campus. BHU hostel fees are nominal. Students are required to pay around INR 4500 per year.

Many events and festivals are celebrated in the hostel. What makes the BHU hostel experience more special is the people. You will get to share your experience with people from different social backgrounds. Memories of arranging events together, the adrenaline rush of the night before examination, 2 am walks on the campus, you will get to make many such unforgettable memories.

What is the scope of a BSc from BHU?

Ayushi DubeyStudied at Banaras Hindu University

If you know what you want to do after graduation, a B.Sc from BHU is a good option. You must choose your Hons. courses in the first year, so you should be clear about your goals. If you want to pursue a career in research, you should choose an honors subject that interests you. You can also apply for JAM in your third year to gain admission to IITs that offer m.sc courses. Aside from that, you can study for the CAT or civil services. Many B.Sc students there aim for the CAT exam for MBA entrance, UPSC, PCS, IITJAM, SSC CGL, and other competitive exams. If you study for these exams, you will be in a pleasant environment.

You would also have the opportunity to learn to swim, mountaineer, or be a part of NCC, NSS, and other organizations. If you are looking for good campus placements in this area, you will most likely be disappointed.
