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, Delhi will be more advantageous. You will have greater exposure and opportunities

The video comprises a comparative analysis of both universities

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.

It depend on the course. If you are taking about undergraduate degrees then for arts and commerce courses, DU is considered best and better among these two. While for science courses BHU will be better. 

  • One of the advantages of choosing BHU is the campus setup. DU has a college system but BHU has PG departments on the same campus. Which means better faculties at UG level. 
  • BHU offers more research-oriented science courses. 
  • The syllabus followed for science courses is also comparably better. 
  • Majority of the students from BHU get selected in reputed universities for their masters.

Having known some people studying in both institutions, I can say that both BHU and DU are equally good in their own way. 

Let me share some facts about them, which might help you make your decision.

DU:

  • In the fields of arts, commerce, and management, the best faculty and teachers are available at DU. 
  • The value of a DU degree is great.
  • DU Campus Life is exciting and has more to offer (apart from academics) than any other campus in India.
  • It is home to prominent India institutions such as SRCC, LSR, Miranda House, Hindu College, Hansraj, St. Stephens, and many others.

BHU:

  • BHU has six institutions, 14 faculties (streams), and around 140 departments. It has Asia’s largest campus.
  • With their own budgets, management, and academic bodies, the institutes are administratively autonomous.
  • BHU has the most research centers in the globe and is the number one in the country. It has all-encompassing research centers for all subjects.
  • It is home to renowned Medical Science, Arts, etc. 
Categories BHU DU
Course Fee 8.35 lakh 1.47 lakh
Placement Percentage 80% 80-90%
Highest CTC 27 LPA 22-24 LPA
Average CTC 13 LPA 11-16 LPA
Lowest CTC 6.93 LPA 6 LPA
Recruiting Companies Cognizant, IBM, TCS, Wipro, etc. TCS, Microsoft, Infosys, Deloitte, etc.

In the government jobs sector, a degree is more valuable than any other. Campus life is more rigid than at DU, yet one may enjoy the Ganges, ghats, galis, malls, temples, and metropolis all at the same time, something that is not possible in Delhi. So choose accordingly.
