There were different types of companies hiring in the placement season. Some were hired in the core field of biomedical engineering others (majorly).
Infrastructure: We have many classrooms with decent facilities like charging ports, Wi-Fi etc. While our hostel is great, we have a fast Wi-Fi connection, Washing machines, sending machines, a canteen, and geysers. Our mess is amazing (IIT BHU is known for its amazing mess food). We have more than 20 sports clubs with all the needed infrastructure. Medical facilities are free for IIT students.

It had a good placement in the year 2023-24 and good academic facilities.
Placements: I am from the electronics branch. It's a circuital branch, so its placement rate is 90% for our batch. Approximately 135 out of 150 students are placed. The highest salary package is approximately 90 LPA, the average salary package is 32 LPA, and the lowest salary package is 16 LPA. From my course, 40%-50% of students get internships. Top roles include ML engineering, SDE, data science, and electronics core.
Infrastructure: All basic facilities are available, such as Wi-Fi, well-equipped labs, furnished classrooms, and 24/7 library access. In the hostel, there are some issues, like irregularly hygienic food in the mess and some problems with drinking water. However, with complaints, these issues are noticed and addressed properly.
Faculty: All teachers are highly qualified and knowledgeable. The teaching methods are a little old, but they are understandable. From the third semester, the course curriculum is relevant. The regular class routine makes students industry-ready. Semester exams become more difficult as you progress to higher semesters. The pass percentage is approximately 40% of the total marks.
Other: I have a lot of interest in electronics and communication technology, so I chose this course. It provides the basic structure of how the modern world will be shaped into a vast world through these modern technologies. There are three fests held in the college every year, one is sports, the second is technical, and the other is cultural.

One of the best IITs in India, but declining due to it's security concerns and infrastructure.
Placements: So, we had a decent placement in the previous-year batch. Approximately 80% placement is seen in the Chemical of IIT BHU, including all the domains. The average package is around 20 lacs. And the mean package remains about 18 lacs. This data is not good as compared to previous batches due to the recession.
Infrastructure: IIT BHU is more than 100 years old, so the conditions of the buildings are not good at all. Lecture theaters are newly built and, hence, in good condition. But the hostels and departments' conditions are not at all satisfactory. But the work is in progress to build new hostels and renovate department buildings.
Faculty: IIT BHU offers one of the most qualified and best faculty members in India. A Ph.D. is the minimum criteria for the professors. Most of the professors are Ph.D.s and research scholars. And talking about the curriculum of the chemical branch, it is easier as compared to branches like electrical and electronics.
Other: The college has a great alumni network, and the placements are very good. But the college lags in its infrastructure and security.

I am satisfied with this college as its faculty members are very good.
Placements: M.Sc. Physics is a two-year course. The highest salary package offered in M.Sc. Physics was 1.20 CPA in 2023. The average salary package offered is 8 LPA. Mainly EDU tech companies like PW, Fiitjee, Unacademy, etc., visit our college to hire students for M.Sc. Physics. There is a batch of 25 students only.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi connection is available everywhere like in classrooms and hostels 24/7. There is a library named Shreeniwas Das Central Library where you can borrow only two books on your core subject and two any other books. The quality of the mess food is very good. A canteen is available in every hostel. Machines are also installed in every hostel.
Faculty: Teachers of IIT BHU are very friendly and supportive. They clear students' doubts at any time. They don't judge students based on their doubts. This course is mainly theoretical and for higher studies. Semester exams are of moderate level. Students can easily pass their exams as there is a relative marking system.

Teachers are quite polite and maintain a friendly environment there.
Placements: From the 5th semester, students are eligible for campus placements. The highest and average salary packages as per company and profile offered are around 4 LPA - 5 LPA. My plan after getting a degree is that I want to try for defence jobs. TCS, Wipro, and Infosys are some companies offering internships for students in India. It represents an exceptional chance to work on exceptional and significant projects and contribute to the company's innovative efforts.
Infrastructure: There is a quite good range of books and journals in the library. You can get, read, and enjoy reading. There is an NCC and many sports like basketball, badminton, tennis, kabaddi, volleyball, etc. I didn't like hostel facilities as they should improve the fee of the hostel. It is quite expensive. Facilities are average.
Faculty: Our faculty members are good and maintain a healthy faculty-student relationship. There are 6-semester exams. They are moderate. Students who study well won't fail exams.

Not too disappointed, infrastructure is bad, but placements are the best thing.
Placements: About 68% students got placed in my branch this year, which is quite low according to previous year, top recruiters are Goldmann sach, microsoft, jaguar, tata, Google, etc., the highest this year was 54 LPA, the lowest was 7 LPA; the average was 19 LPA; and if we talk about interns, approx. 20% got intern in adobe, tata, Google, etc.; the top roles were sde, data analyst, finance, etc.

Wi-Fi connectivity is good, classrooms are bad, no AC is installed, the library is the best full-air conditioned, hostels are bad, only DG2 is good, the quality of food is good, although. canteens are best open till 4:00 am, the medical facility is good, ambulance support is 24 hours a day, and sports and games facilities are also good.
Faculty: Teachers are qualified, but they don't want to teach us perfectly. Only a few are good ones; teaching quality is bad. I don't think that the curriculum is relevant; it doesn't make students industry-ready. Ya, but semester exams are tough, and pass percentages in all courses are good, but for a few courses like F.M. and H.M.T., approx. 25% fail each year.
Other: I opt because only I am getting this; the best thing is that it is so tough; teaching quality must improve; ya, festivals are a good thing about it, but only pro nights, not the whole fest.
