I appeared for CUET 2023, and the required part was the English and general tests. We had to register on the website of BHU. After the results were announced, we filled preference sheet for eligible courses. Further, cut-offs were released in several rounds, I got my seat in the first round. I locked the seat and paid the admission fee. Later, we filled in the preference for subject combination and was allotted later on. The admission letter was released, we got our documents verified offline, and the admission was finalized. The admission committee at BHU is quite liberal and student-friendly, but they took time lot more than expected, which delayed our admission process by a month or two.

The course requires one to clear the CUET UG exam conducted by the NTA. The subjects accepted for this course is GENERAL TEST and Any one Language. The criteria for calculation of marks is Total Marks obtained in the General Test + 50% of the marks obtained in English/Hindi. Application forms can be filled in the official website of NTA and fees are roughly 1300. Yes, for the sake of improvement, BHU could ask for other domain-specific results in the CUET exam.

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.

Which is better BHU or DU?

By Aaditya Hari Nairon 13 May 22
AS

Anumita Sinha

13 May 22Economics 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, that too Delhi will be more advantageous. You will have greater exposure and opportunities. 

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?

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.

How is the life at BHU?

Sumit Chetri

29 Aug 22B.A. Social Science in Socilogy & Economics, Banaras Hindu University

BHU offers a vibrant campus life. Many cultural events and extra-curricular activities take place around the academic year. You will hardly find a day without any such activities happening on campus. 

The campus is huge and lush green. BHU offers excellent facilities to students such as the university library, many cafeterias, various clubs, etc. Food offered at the mess is average. IIT offers better food in comparison. Bus services are available for students. Having a personal bi-cycle, scooter, or bike will be helpful, in commuting. 

The academics offered by BHU are good and the professors are helpful. The examinations are easy in general but you will have to put in extra effort, to secure good placements.

Siddhartha Gupta

07 May 22Master'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.

Banaras Hindu University is a prestigious agricultural sciences institution. The institute has made numerous contributions to Indian agriculture and has numerous scientific accomplishments.

  • ICAR-JRF - If you want to pursue further education, you can take the JRF exam in the subject of your choice. IARI is a dream institution, and only the best students are admitted. Every year, many BHU students attend IARI for M.Sc Ag in various fields and other agricultural universities.

  • BHU Postgraduate BHU students are given reserved seating. Admission to BHU M.Sc Ag is no longer easy. Internal quota seats are available to BHU students.

  • MBA Master's in Business is another route that students can take. There is a good environment for MBA preparation here, and many students get into prestigious institutes like IIM-Ahmadabad, IRMA, TISS, NIBM NAARM, and many more.

Many students also study for the FCI, NABARD, and State PCS (for District Agriculture Officer) exams. 

  • PLACEMENT Many private firms, dairy companies, private banks, non-governmental organizations, and seed and fertilizer industries offer graduates lucrative packages. Students who are looking for jobs right after graduation usually apply for them.
