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.

Other: There are various events like Kashiyatra, etc. It is a cultural fest held in January. IIT BHU Campus is an open campus that everyone comes here and enjoys.

All the faculty members are truly genius.

Placements: In the 5th semester, we need to submit our CV to the respected faculty who is in charge of placements; in the 6th semester, placements start taking place, and the hotels and retail sector starts the interview for hiring. 350000 is the minimum package per year that our college provides.

Infrastructure: The campus life is full of activities by the students. There is a club for almost everything, starting from dance and music to machines learning, coding, etc. New journals and thesis papers are added to the library every weekend and the library is accessible from morning 9 am to evening 5 pm, which extends during exam times. You can join any club you want of your interest.

Faculty: Faculty members of our college are professional and skilled; they provide us all the basic knowledge and then move to higher knowledge. In our college, there are examinations based semester-wise. Before each semester, they are mid-semester to increase the knowledge of the student, and the 4th semester is based on training, the experience we get from the training from the hotel.

Review of Indian Institute of Technology, BHU, Varanasi.

Placements: Placement of this Indian Institute of Technology is really good. Many multinational companies come here to recruit students with a very good package. The highest placement this year was 1.68 crores given to a student of B. Tech in Computer Science. And a large number of students from various branches get their jobs with high salaries.

Infrastructure: No doubt, courses are at their best level. But the hostel facility is not too good here because the hostels are old and not maintained. They are giving three-seater rooms to Masters students. I mean Masters and Ph.D. students deserve single rooms. But they are getting a room with minimum facilities.

Faculty: The best thing about this IIT BHU is its faculty. It has a large number of faculty in every single branch, and they are highly qualified. Exams are scheduled in a better way so that the students don't feel stress. Professors teach us in a cool manner. Semester exams are not too tough. We have relatively marking here so our results are good.

Other: Campus life is not too good because local people enter here just like it is their college. They enter with their vehicles with no speed limit.

A institute that changes your aptitude for life and their perspective.

Placements: Placement record here for M.Sc is very poor. Last year, only 60% students got placements. The placement package is 8 LPA as maximum. I don't think this is a good platform for placement.

Infrastructure: Hostel and its facilities are very good. The department is very helpful. Mess is the best part of IIT BHU and it's awesome to live here. Medical, canteen and the gym area are wonderful. Hospitality is very common in the campus. Staff and their members are very helpful.

Faculty: The teachers are very knowledgeable and master of their subjects. They have a great knowledge of their subjects. They prepare us for PhD and give us knowledge on how to become master of our subjects. They teach us about how to beat the competition.

Other: I chose chemistry to go into research field.
