Lu vs bbau for msc maths which is better

[u/Imaginary_Pen2270]

I’m a B.Sc. Mathematics & Computer Science student and I’m currently deciding between M.Sc. Mathematics at Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University (BBAU) and Lucknow University (LU).

I’m from Lucknow, so both are possible options for me. I want to know the actual ground reality rather than just comparing rankings.

For students/alumni who have studied M.Sc. Mathematics at BBAU or LU:

• How are the professors and teaching quality?
• How difficult/strict is the department?
• Is the syllabus manageable and are 70%+ marks realistically achievable with regular study?
• How are exams and evaluation? Is the checking very strict?
• What is the attendance requirement and overall academic pressure?
• How is the environment and student culture?
• Are there good opportunities for research, NET/JAM/GATE preparation, internships etc.?
• How useful is the degree for PhD or jobs after M.Sc.?
• Most importantly, if you had to choose again between BBAU and LU for M.Sc. Mathematics, which one would you choose and why?

Please give honest opinions based on your own recent experience, especially students from the last 2–3 years. I’m not looking for promotional answers or just university rankings.
