BHU: 6 Answered Questions

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.

How is mechanical engineering at IIT (BHU)?

Rohini Mishra
Udit GhoseB.Tech Mechanical Engineering, Sharda University

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.

How good it is to do MBA from faculty of commerce BHU?

Shubham SatnamiMBA in Masters of Business Administration Degrees and Faculty of Commerce , Banaras Hindu University (Graduated 2019)

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.

What is the value of doing BHU BSc Math Honours?

Simranjit Kaur
Himangi SrivastavaStudent at Banaras Hindu University (2019-present)

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.
