Review of Faculty of commerce, B.H.U.

The curriculum is more inclined towards a theoretical side and lacks practical exposure. In the present scenario, having practical knowledge is a must if you want to survive in the industry, which my college didn't prepare me for. However, there are various opportunities across the campus. We have AIC inside the campus, which may offer an internship to the students if they reach out to them.

The fee for different courses may vary; mine was approximately 2000/yr, which we must pay in 2 installments. The hostel fee is about 6500 a year, and at the time of admission, we must pay a caution money of around 2000, which is refundable after your graduation.

Every department has its societies and clubs, and students from other department can also join them, which allows us to interact with the students of various departments. As for sports, you have ample opportunities, there are all kinds of sports and you can join whichevere of them you like. There is an overnight library facility available for the students, and an in-campus Wi-Fi facility.

Not all students get a hostel as the seats are limited. Fortunately, I was able to get a hostel on campus. The allotment procedure is based on a combination of merit and the distance from your home. The mess food quality is quite good; you won't generally find such in other universities.

The university takes admission through an all-India test called CUET, conducted by UGC every year. You need to take the test in the required domain as per the eligibility citeria of the course you are interested in opting. I choose this university because of its prestige and legacy, it is quite affordable as well. I was fortunate enough to get admission there.

The faculty of my department is quite knowledgeable; they all have a very strong foundation in their subject and are very supportive if you reach out to them. But the professors are focused more on the traditional way of teaching and provide theoretical knowledge rather than giving us practical insight. However, the faculty conducts workshops on various topics on a regular basis which can be helpful.

We have a temple inside the campus, which is a tourist attraction; it's a good hangout place for the students. As the campus is spread across a large area, most of it gets deserted past 10 at night, but there are a few places where you can still hang out. As per my experience, I felt the campus was pretty safe and the guards do regular patrolling at night, but there have been a few incidents in the past.
