Ques. Which is better, BHU or DU?

Ans. A critical analysis of both can help in identifying which campus is better:

  • Campus: Although BHU possesses Asia's largest campus of 3960 acres, the larger part of this is located on the south campus of the university at Barkachha in Mirzapur. The main campus in 1360 acres, which is large enough (still 3rd in India after Hyderabad University and IIT kgp). BHU campus is one of the greenest campuses giving a glimpse of heaven sometimes.

On the other hand, most of the DU colleges are not bigger than a standard school. DU is divided into two campuses, north, and south. Even if both the campuses are taken together, it will only be a fraction of that of BHU.

  • Structure: There are 77 colleges in DU and admissions are done in each college separately. There is not much difference between them barring the big names.

BHU also has colleges but they are few in number and students there don’t enjoy the privileges of the main campus. The main campus is about institutes, faculties, and departments. It has 8 institutes, 16 faculties, and more than 140 departments.

  • Location: Being in a metro city and that too in the capital of India is of great advantage. One should always prefer a metropolitan city in case s/he is willing to study commerce, economics, management, or other similar courses. It offers you greater exposure and opportunities.
  • Hostel Facilities: The proportion of students getting hostel is higher in BHU. DU hostels are more autonomous than those of BHU. One has to apply separately to each hostel.

In BHU, each faculty has its own hostels which are allotted strictly on the basis of merit and are decided by respective faculties. Birla and Broacha hostels are flagship brands of BHU.

  • Exposure: BHU is slightly better in research, particularly in sciences. DU is ahead by far in corporate jobs and civil services.
