The verdict
Good fit
If you want rigorous physics training from a top-5 NIRF, NAAC A++ institution at almost zero cost, BHU is a strong bet. It's especially worth it if you're eyeing DRDO/ISRO/research careers or a future PhD. The 55% placement rate and limited private-sector salary data mean it's less ideal if you're chasing immediate corporate fat packages.
