Hello Aspirant,

Both Delhi University (DU) and Banaras Hindu University (BHU) are elite universities and each has its own merits. Here is a summarized view of the two universities:

• Delhi University (DU): This offers great exposure, diverse peer interaction opportunities, and good placement/internship options, especially since it is situated in a metro city with an active academic environment and flourishing corporate industry. The curriculum is regularly updated, supplemented with a variety of extracurricular and research amenities.
• Banaras Hindu University: BHU has a vibrant academic environment and a fantastic mathematics program with dedicated faculty. The academic environment is research-based and complemented with excellent alumni, many of whom have gone on to complete their higher studies (i.e. IIT JAM, GATE, etc) or to international programs.

In summary, for a career based program, DU is possibly less tedious and better for networking/job opportunities in metros, whilst BHU is a good option for research and higher study opportunities.
