The first thing I liked was the huge campus area of this university... As known as the "oxford of the east", this university offers unique old and sophisticated architecture when compared to other newly build universities....
The second thing I like and was amazed at knowing that attendance is not compulsory for BA students who're not having any practical exams... This provided a lot of relief for us students who're preaparing for government competitive exams...

Dislikes

The low level of technological advancements and facilities provided to students is what I disliked the most... They should include one more year for research for us BA students as provided by other 1 tier universities...
The teachers could be more puntual on completing their syllabus on time.... University should also focus on creating placements and providing internships....

Fees and Financial Aid:

there's no much campus employment in Allahabad university (Almost not considerable).... But the affordability is appreciable... They do provide for scholarships if you score above 60+ in 2nd and 3rd year and if your family income is less than 2-3 lakhs per year (not sure about the exam amout)... Many of my friends have opted for this scholarship too...As a BA student, roughly 4300 is the charge for 1 year and nothing else... Also they don't give much asssignments and projects so surely you don't have spend much...

Fees and Financial Aid:

Near is no hike policy for fees as it gets a decrease in 2nd and 3rd year and studying here is not so costly. As I belong to U.P. I get the benefit of the up scholarship program. There is no such job program for our course in our college.
