BHU's Initiatives to Boost Enrollment of International Students
As per the recent updates, Banaras Hindu University has taken many initiatives to increase the enrollment of foreign students. The BHU launched a scheme of providing Rs 72,000 per year as its scholarship to all international students who don't have any kind of scholarship.
However, those students who are receiving a lesser amount as the scholarship will be given different amounts by the varsity. The University has recently ordered a dedicated boy's hostel with a capacity of 400 international students.
