Review of Banaras Hindu University College.

Infrastructure: The facilities at our college are good, with fine infrastructure. They provide Wi-Fi, smart board facilities, and others. The departments are well-designed. The library is also good; we can find all types of books there. The hostel is better; they offer Wi-Fi facilities, provide food and rooms to students, and keep the mess well-cleaned. Our college also organizes sports activities.
Faculty: The teachers are helpful and well-qualified, like Ph.D. holders. The teaching quality is good, and the course makes students industry-ready. Semester exams are more difficult than those at other colleges, but they help build students. The passing CGPA is above 9.

Good placements. Must join college. Worth joining.
Placements: 85% of the students studying were placed. The highest package is 92 LPA, the average is 25 LPA, and the minimum is 7 LPA. Top recruiting companies include Google, Amazon, JLR, etc. About 5-6% of the students received internships, with top roles as SDE, DA, etc.
Infrastructure: The college offers good Wi-Fi connectivity and moderate infrastructure. There are no ACs in classrooms and no availability of properly working equipment. The food quality from the mess and canteen is good, and the medical facilities are also nice, with 24/7 ambulance service. Additionally, there are many clubs for sports and games.
Faculty: The teachers are helpful, qualified, and knowledgeable. The teaching quality is good, with professors involved in research work. The course curriculum is relevant and helps make students industry-ready. Semester exams are difficult, and an F grade signifies a failure.
Other: I chose this course because, according to my JEE rank, this was the best option available for me. The infrastructure and hostel conditions need improvement, which should be done at a higher pace. Aside from this, every event occurring in the college is amazing, like the fest.

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.

Honest review of Indian Institute of Technology, BHU.
Placements: The placements in IIT BHU Varanasi are considered very good as compared to the other Tier 1 colleges in the nation and IITs. The median package for mining is 21 lacs, where as the lowest is around 10 to 12 Lacs and the highest can go up to 40 Lacs. Mainly, PSUs or government companies hire in mining field. Students from core branches can also shift and sit for the placements of non-core or IT companies. Companies that come for IT hiring are Google, Microsoft, Salesforce, Goldman Sachs, etc. Generally, 70–80% of students in all branch are placed. On-campus internships are offered in the third year but they are very hard to get and you have to be academically strong. The average package of all the college combined is around 22 Lacs. The placement process and the condition of placements are really good as compared to other colleges in India.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure at the college is old-fashioned and may not be liked by all the students. How does the college try to constantly renovate and improve the infrastructure? However, the Wi-Fi facility and internet are good. The library and the reading room are also well maintained and thoroughly used. The classrooms and labs are old-fashioned, and there is a huge scope for improvement in this field. Talking about the hostels, very few of them are modern and the mess food is very average. The medical facilities at the college need huge improvement. Sports facilities are so good that a total of 19 sports can be played on the college campus. There are local food outlets and canteens that have reasonable prices.
Faculty: With all due respect, the teachers are highly qualified but many of them lack teaching skills. The teachers in coaching are better than these professors. The student-teacher ratio is not good at the college, as many students sit in one classroom. The curriculum is average and most of it is not used in the industry nowadays. The students themselves have to put in great work and effort to make themselves industry-ready. The semester examinations are fairly difficult. But a good CGPA can be maintained in core branches or lower branches.
Other: The only major fault in the college campus is that it is not a closed campus; it is open to all citizens of the city and neighborhood. Multiple molestation incidents have happened at the college at night. Pizza is done mainly by the Banaras Hindu University students, whose campus is connected to the IIT campus. Security is also average. Retired policemen of the Uttar Pradesh Police are used. The festivals and college culture are very good and many technical and cultural festivals take place regularly at this college.
