The Faculty runs some courses in collaboration with Faculty of Science, Baranas Hindu University and Faculty of Social Sciences, Banaras Hindu University in order to expose the students to explore knowledge in other disciplines.

With the initiative of Ministry of Human Resource Development of India the Faculty introduced Choice Based Credit System in its undergraduate programmes. In Choice Based Credit System, a student is free to study any course offered in various departments of the Faculty and earn the required credits in order to fulfill the credit requirement to earn the Bachelors degree. This will enable the students to customize their course structure so that they meet the desired goal of their life.
Faculty has rich collection of books in its library for the students of undergraduate programme where as post graduate students can utilize the libraries of their respective departments. The Faculty is planning to pool all the libraries into one so that students are more benefitted by reading books from other subjects to. There is a new administrative block coming up in order create more space to the students and teachers for conducting their classes.

I invite and welcome the aspiring students to join the Faculty of Arts, Banaras Hindu University and contribute to society what we inherit from this place.
Best wishes,
