Review of Indian Institute of Technology, BHU, Varanasi.

Placements: Around 70 percent of students get placed in the final year. The highest package offered is 54 LPA, and the lowest package offered in my college is 7 LPA. Top recruiting companies like Microsoft, Google, Nvidia, Goldman Sachs, Tata Motors, and Amazon hire students. Around 50 to 60 percent of students get internships before their final year. Both core and non-core jobs are offered in our college.

Infrastructure: Facilities available are old, but everything needed is provided to us. Wi-Fi facilities are absolutely good. Classrooms are okay. The library is an absolute part of our college, and it has all types of book collections needed for a student. The hostel rooms are too cozy and small. The food is not that good in taste, but the quality is good enough.

Faculty: Teachers who teach us are very knowledgeable and friendly. They help us in our internships and academics. The course curriculum is relevant. Courses are very helpful and make us ready in all ways for our jobs and internships. The difficulty level of semester exams is very high. The pass percentage is around 80 percent.

The best college for placements.

Placements: Around 60-70 percent of students are placed in this course. Almost everyone chooses non-core jobs over core jobs due to the very low placement package in core jobs. The highest package is 51 LPA, and the average is around 18 LPA. The companies Indian Oil Corporation, BASF, ONGC, etc.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure is not very modern. The Wi-Fi is available all over the campus. The classrooms, library, and labs are very calm without any disturbance. The hostels and mess are very neat. The college has a hospital. For sports, we have several grounds and a student activity centre.

Faculty: The teachers are very well educated and helpful. They make us think beyond the syllabus for deep understanding. This course is about process control and instrumentation, chemical relations, etc. This course is so much industry-related. The exams are a bit tough.

Absolutely satisfied with the good faculty members and placements.

Placements: About 90 percent of the students in my course (mechanical branch) are placed. The highest package is 3.4 crore per annum. The lowest package is 8 LPA. The average package is 10 LPA. About 80 percent of students get internships in college. Top recruiting companies are HPCL and ISRO.

Infrastructure: The college has very good Wi-Fi. It has clean and well-equipped labs. There are very good, nice, and clean classrooms. The quality of the food is not that satisfying but somewhat okay. They mostly cook potatoes. The library is very good. Medical and sports facilities are average.

Faculty: Teachers and professors are very helpful, highly qualified, and highly knowledgeable. Exams are very difficult and simple if we study from the beginning. They are hard if we neglect them. The pass percentage highly depends on the subject professor.

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.

Infrastructure: As you know, IIT is one of the biggest institutions in the world, and to be specific, IIT BHU is very old and well settled in this field, so it takes care of students and knows the problems of students with this much experience. The hostels are very clean, the lecture halls have AC, and the hostels have Wi-Fi, and it's high-speed.
