One of the best engineering colleges.
Placements: The placement percentage based on 2025 data is around 64%. It is a decent percentage, as many of the students opt for further studies and other streams, other than campus placements. SDE is the top role and is more beneficial for CSE and MNC students. Other branch students can have core placements too, as per their interests.
Infrastructure: We do not have restricted internet. LAN points are present in every hostel room. The campus's main buildings have centralized Wi-Fi known as IITG-Connect, and we can log in through our ID and ERP password. Internet speed is mediocre. Each hostel has an AC library and gym of its own. There is a big central library and a gym for the whole campus. Classroom infrastructure is way beyond what we will see in other Tier 2 colleges. There are canteens in every hostel. There are 10 boys' hostels and 3 girls' hostels on campus.
Faculty: Most teachers are helpful, very qualified in their specialties, and knowledgeable in every aspect. There is a slight language barrier between teachers, professors, and faculty members due to different accents. The course curriculum is very relevant, and all data is shared at the start of the tenure.

Faculty: Faculty members are highly qualified and supportive. The teaching quality is commendable, with a good balance between theoretical concepts and practical applications. Semester exams are moderately challenging, focusing on both understanding and application of concepts.

Review of Banaras Hindu University College.

Fully satisfied with what it provides, good infrastructure and facilites.
Placements: 13 out of 15 (87%) students were placed from the batch 2024-2025 in our course where the average package was 18 LPA-19 LPA given that not a lot of them were for core (in material science) positions because core companies like Applied Materials Inc. and Loham are offering upto 30 LPA offers. The highest package was 46 LPA in Meesho for the SDE role and the lowest was around 12 LPA. Some of the companies that came were Walmart, Citi Bank, Jarvis (business analyst role), Meesho, and Loham. 2 students got internships out of 15 and off-campus because companies came for circuital branches.
Infrastructure: Our material science department has complete high-speed Wi-Fi connectivity all over the same in the lecture halls. Department has AC-furnished rooms but not lecture halls as of now. Also, material science department has some world-class quality instruments for research so research-oriented students can surely come. My hostel (Satish Dhawan) reading rooms are equipped with AC and good food quality in a mess with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food options. Canteens are open from 3:00 PM up to 4:30 AM. 3 large common rooms with TV, chess, and seating are available. Every room has Wi-Fi and ethernet.
Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified, and many research papers published, M.Sc. PhDs from foreign universities medallists. Teaching quality is exactly like how science must be taught with examples with creativity, and very interactive in the class with all students. Course curriculum is also industry-relevant and keeps on adapting every year. Exams are as difficult as expected and sometimes stand out with questions such as trying to make a question utilizing all the knowledge learned through the course applied to a real-world problem, but the grading is relatively depend on the people around you.
Other: Clubs are good like every society you name it, astronomy club, business club, robotics club, COPS (Club of Programs), SNTC (science and technology council), quant club, football, and student alumni interaction cell. The only IIT in India that recorded a positive growth in placements such as good training and placement cell which provide classes for hard DSA topics and guidance. Fee remission is there if family income is below 5 LPA and many scholarships keep coming throughout the year. Spardha India's biggest sports fest and Kashiyatra and Technex, FMC Week are conducted.

All about IIT BHU and its pros and cons.
Placements: About 90% of people in my course are placed. The highest package offered is 51 LPA, the lowest is 8 LPA, and the average for 2023-24 is 19.6 LPA. Top recruiting companies include big software giants like Microsoft, Google, Goldman Sachs, American Express, etc. However, the number of students offered internships is comparatively less.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure at IIT BHU Varanasi isn't that great. We have decent labs with old machinery. Wi-Fi works well at most locations except a few. There are lecture halls, mostly without ACs. The library isn't very luxurious, but it holds a good collection of all the required books. Facilities in hostels are also decent, though not the best. First-year students have triple-sharing rooms, and the rest have double-sharing rooms. The food in the mess is good, but the canteens are a disaster since we don't have branded vendors like Nescafรฉ or Domino's. Medical facilities are decent.
Faculty: Professors are helpful and know their subjects well. The teaching quality is good if you pay close attention. The course curriculum is relevant. The semester exam difficulty varies from moderate to difficult, but it's mostly based on the course and way of study. The pass percentage is high, with only a few students encountering backlogs in a few courses.
