Overview
About Banaras Hindu University
Banaras Hindu University is an university in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, established in 1916. It is affiliated to Banaras Hindu University. Banaras Hindu University offers 17 programmes, 5 at undergraduate level and 4 at postgraduate level. These include Faculty of Arts: programmes (UG), Faculty of Science: programmes (UG), Faculty of Commerce: programmes (UG), Institute of Management Studies: programmes (UG) and Faculty of Education: programmes (UG), among others. The 2024-25 official annual report states 5 Institutes, 16 Faculties and 136 Departments, 35,000+ students, 4,980+ publications, 33 patent filings, 18 patents granted, 184 new funded projects worth ₹69.7 crore and 560 ongoing projects worth ₹206.9 crore. It identifies Prof. Sanjay Kumar as Officiating Vice-Chancellor from 07.01.2025 onward. BHU’s own Institute of Medical Sciences operates the attached Sir Sunderlal Hospital; the 2024-25 report states 1,585 beds for Sir Sunderlal Hospital within a 2,614-bed hospital network. Academic pattern, medium and institution-wide attendance minimum were not recorded because the available official programme ordinances are programme-specific. BHU was established under the Banaras Hindu University Act, 1915 and founded in 1916. It is self-awarding, not affiliated to another degree-awarding university. The official BHU page reports 5 institutes, 16 faculties, 134 departments, 10 centres, 2 interdisciplinary schools, 1 constituent women's college and 4 affiliated colleges; only schema-supported counts are entered as campus facts. Target year is 2026-27; the quality evidence available here is the official 2025 NIRF cycle, and regulator-list evidence is from the cited list editions rather than a dedicated 2026-27 admission notification.
