University of Lucknow B.Com Review By Aman Bisht

I did my B.Com at the University of Lucknow from 2018 to 2021 and had a great experience. I chose Lucknow University after ranking 405th out of about 10000 candidates in the entrance test and landing a spot on the merit list with hostel accommodation. The exam was with moderate difficulty level in MCQ format and a month of preparations was more than enough if you had a solid foundation from 11th and 12th grade. The fees were very reasonable at just ₹21,000 for the entire course, which was a huge plus. I also had options at MGKVP Varanasi, Allahabad University, and an affiliated college at BHU. I picked Lucknow University because it had a non- political environment, and the overall academic vibe suited me better.

To take admission in University of Lucknow, one has to apply for admission registration on their online portal. The entire admission process has been made online and paperless. After registration and paying the fees. One has to wait for the releasing of the entrance test date sheet and the release of admit card. The entire test is done in Lucknow only so there's no choice of center. One has to come to Lucknow if they want to take admission. After test, one has to wait for the release of the Merit list. After which whoever will be inside cutoff list they can continue the rest of the process like fees payment and document submission from the online portal. Even hostel can be booked online. After verification you will be the student of LU and on the mentioned date you can directly go to the hostel and allot your room and start going college.

The faculties are highly educated, well experienced and very motivated to teach the students as much as they can. Every senior professor has junior professors and Ph.D scholars who also take classes in between. Every day we were having 3 classes 1 hour each which usually starts from 9AM or 10AM. Attendance was 75% mandatory.

As per my course B.Com is concerned there was no such placement cell support. We were having Annual Job Fest where hundreds of company and local businesses, banks used to come for hiring fresher graduates. I wanted to continue further higher studies so I didn’t attended any job fare but I know couple of friends who got hired from the same job fest but for Technical courses and management courses.

University of Lucknow has around 11 hostels: 7 for boys, 3 for girls and 1 for foreign students. The management has divided the hostels allotment to students as per their course. Like I have been allotted in Subash Hostel, which was mostly for B.Com and management students and some of the seats were provided to B.Sc students as well. We were having a central mess for boys. Food was fine not good I'll say. Hostels were just behind the campus. Rooms were mostly 2 seater room. Gardens and sports room were also there in hostels.

The infrastructure of university is very good. the whole campus is spread in a very large area. There is one big sports ground. Buildings have been divided as per the courses and department. Mostly the building inside are like old style so it looks amazing. The management always renovates the buildings. There are also new buildings that have been made after breaking very older ones. Campus is very clean with all the greenery. There were very few classrooms with AC support. There was a big library known as Tagore library which was very good and amazing.

As far as campus life is concerned it was fantastic. Every week there was some fest, crowd gatherings or some kind of seminars conducted in campus. Even if the concerned seminar is for different courses the other courses students can still attend it. There was annual Sports fest, Inter sports tournament and other competitions like dance, art, paintings, singing, multicultural and many more conducted here. There are various clubs in the university which students can enroll into. The university also has its own NCC and NSS departments. College has many canteens and food courts.
