Q:   Can I get admission into M.Tech AI at IIT BHU with a GATE score of 664 and AIR of 1364?

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.

Like there are hostels like Dhanrajgiri, Sathish Dhawan, PC Ray, which are new, thus have new infrastructure and facilities like lifts. But other hostels like Vishveshwaraiya, Vivekanand, and Rajputana have old infrastructure, thus fewer facilities, but they have their own old school vibes.

No, direct admission isn't possible. IIT does not offer management quota admission or direct admission; aspirants need to appear for JEE Advanced and go through JoSAA counselling to secure a B.Tech seat at IIT (BHU) Varanasi.
