Enjoy college life, not only studying. You will definitely get placed.

Placements: Around 123 out of 146 students are selected for placements. The highest package is around 87 LPA, and the average package is around 30.11 LPA.

Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified and very helpful. They not only teach us the main subjects but also teach industry-related skills for placement purposes. The college exams are very difficult, and it is generally hard to score marks. However, there is relative grading, so it is easier to get a good CGPA.

Other: I chose this course because it is the best branch.

Excellent academic experience with vibrant campus life at IIT (BHU).

Placements: As a pharmaceutical student, I will graduate in 2027. I find the placement opportunities are above average. This course provides strong knowledge and engineering skills. These help students in preparing for pharmaceutical manufacturing, quality assurance, and R&D.

Infrastructure: IIT BHU has good infrastructure. Well-equipped laboratories, classrooms, a central library, and good Wi-Fi facilities are provided to students. Hostel facilities are comfortable with decent mess and canteen options. The campus also provides medical facilities and excellent opportunities for sports and extracurricular activities.

Faculty: Faculty members here are highly qualified. They are knowledgeable and always supportive. The teaching quality is also good. The curriculum includes both pharmaceutical and engineering concepts and helps students develop industry-relevant skills. Semester exams are moderately challenging and test conceptual understanding. The academic environment here is excellent and encourages both learning and practical application.

Other: Campus life at IIT BHU is vibrant. This college is full of opportunities. Students actively participate in big fests like Kashiyatra, Technex, and Spardha.

The college is pretty good in placements to be honest.

Placements: Around 55 to 60 percent out of total students and 83 percent out of eligible students got placed. The highest package is I guess 120 LPA, the average package is 19 LPA, the lowest package is 8 LPA, and the median package is 17 LPA. Top recruiting companies include Google, Microsoft, Vedanta, and Coal India Limited. Only 6 out of 120 students, which is around 5 percent, got internships. Roles offered include SDEs, mining production engineers, business analysts, and consultants.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi, labs, and classrooms are clean, and the classrooms are air-conditioned. The libraries are good, although it is difficult to find a seat there as it is mostly filled. Mess food is average, and canteen food is also average. Almost all sports facilities are available in the Sports Council and Gymkhana ground.

Faculty: The teachers are pretty good to be honest, and most of them have completed their Ph.D. from reputed foreign institutes. I do not find Chemistry and Physics relevant for the jobs we are going to do, but nevertheless, they help in increasing our thinking capability. Semester exams are pretty difficult to be honest, and many students get backlogs.

Other: I am getting this college as the best option among all in JoSAA counseling. Maybe some of the old curriculum should be removed, and movie nights should be organized like in other IITs. I have not experienced many fests yet, so I cannot say much about those.

One of the best colleges in Northern India.

Placements: 60% of the students get placed on campus. The remaining get placed off campus. Some prepare for government examinations, so they do not sit for placements. The lowest package is 8 LPA. The highest is around 56 LPA for an SDE role, possibly off campus. Amazon, Google, Meesho, and Microsoft are some of the top recruiting companies. 20 students get internships at Godrej, Microsoft, Google, etc. Assistant Manager is one of the roles offered.

Infrastructure: Facilities and infrastructure are very good, excellent. Wi-Fi is available at high speed 24/7. Labs are very high-tech. Classrooms have AC. The library is very spacious. Hostels are very big and clean. Food has always been great for the past 1 year. Sports and games are encouraged a lot. Medical facilities are available 24/7.

Faculty: Teachers are always ready to help. They are very kind, knowledgeable, and highly qualified. Teaching has always been great and the best. The course curriculum is very in-depth and understandable. It does make students industry-ready in every aspect. Semester exams are moderately tough. Almost every student passes, although sometimes two or three students fail.

Other: From childhood, I wanted to be a civil engineer, and that is the only reason I chose this course. The schedules of our classes can be improved. Events are breathtaking. Fests are always my best part. The campus crowd is okay. We have the best connectivity, being in the middle of main Kashi. Scholarships are provided every year. Extracurricular activities are very engaging.

Bad college life, but great placements.

Placements: 45 out of 55 students reviewed an internship till week 2 of the internship season. The highest package is 30 LPA. Last year, the highest package was 2.21 crore per annum, and the average was 50 LPA. NK Securities offered 2.21 crore per annum as the highest package. Quant roles are the top roles offered. Many quant roles are available.

Infrastructure: Wi-Fi, labs, and classrooms are available. The Wi-Fi is not very good, the speed is quite slow. Classrooms have AC. The hostel is quite decent. The washrooms are bad. The mess food lacks hygiene a lot. Sport facilities are lacking a bit due to a lot of crowd.

Faculty: Some of the teachers are well qualified and knowledgeable. Some are very nice, lenient, and helpful. Some of them are strict and made to destroy your CGPA. The course is very nice. The curriculum is very Maths and computing-focused. The semester exams are chill. Scoring CGPA is comparatively easier. The pass percentage is around 80 to 90 percent, I would say, in our batch till now.

Satisfied with placements, but the infrastructure is not good. They are working on improving it.

Placements: Placements are quite good here, of course, as it is the Indian Institute of Technology. Especially in Computer Science and Engineering, the placement rate is even better. Out of 109 students, 96 are placed last year. The highest package is 90 LPA, and the average package in Computer Science and Engineering is 35 LPA.

Infrastructure: The hostel infrastructure is not very good as it is an old college. I do not like the mess food much, but it is fine. Since I am from the South, I find the food too sweet for my taste.

Faculty: Teachers are knowledgeable, but a few cannot explain the subjects well to students. The course curriculum is good and relevant. Semester exams are very hard here, especially for Mechanical courses. The pass percentage for other courses is good. For Mechanical courses, it is only around half, I guess. A few faculty members are quite good and friendly, but some only teach for the salary. They come, teach, and leave.
