Enjoy college life, not only studying. You will definitely get placed.

Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified and very helpful. They not only teach us the main subjects but also teach industry-related skills for placement purposes. The college exams are very difficult, and it is generally hard to score marks. However, there is relative grading, so it is easier to get a good CGPA.

Bad college life, but great placements.

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.

Great college for study, for the environment, and for campus life.

Faculty: Professors and staff are helpful but at the same time strict and want to maintain the decorum of the college. There are always some flaws in everything, but overall, IITBHU's faculty is good, and this is a good place to get a graduation from. Obviously, it's an IIT.

If you want a good package, then you should join this college.

Faculty: Teachers are very knowledgeable, and they are also very down-to-earth, as they help every student in need. The course curriculum is relevant, and it makes students industry-ready if they have to go to core jobs on the side. If we attend all classes and make notes, then there will be no difficulty in passing the exams. Almost 94 percent of the students pass the course.

Absolutely satisfied with my college IIT BHU because of facilities and good placement in 2026.

Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified and knowledgeable. Teaching quality is good, though not as awesome as JEE teachers. The course curriculum is relevant too. Semester exams are decent, and the difficulty level is good. I chose Electronics Engineering because it is the backbone of modern technology, from AI hardware to communication systems. At IIT BHU, the best thing is the 'Open Lab' culture and the technical societies. I’ve already started diving into circuit design, where I’ve learned that relying...

All faculty members are best in their respective subjects. There are two exams in our college, one is mid semester and another is end semester exam in one semester. The difficulty of exams is hard.

IIT Bhu is a vibe, go enjoy it.

Faculty: The course curriculum in terms of relevance and comprehensiveness was good. Actually faculty were very good at IIT BHU. Approximately every week, there will be quizzes and there will mid sems and end sem examinations as well in each semester. Faculty to student ratio at IIT BHU was very good. There was a good relationship between students and faculty, although there were some faculty which were not good at building a good relationship between faculty and students.

IIT BHU, The best of the most.

Faculty: IIT is IIT because of its curriculum, its course structure, and teaching facility which makes us industry ready, therefore giving such high placements. The faculty members here are very highly qualified and skilled, some of them are very helpful. Semester exams are generally not so tough but you atleast need to study 2 weeks before the exam to get decent grades.
