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...

Very good college ancient college in India.

Faculty: The faculty to student ratio is 1/22. The faculty to student relationship is good. We approach faculty by doing mail on their mail inbox to ask any doubt or we can ask doubts after the class. All the faculty members are good. I like all of them. 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.

I have an amazing experience at IIT BHU Varanasi.

Faculty: Professors and teaching assistants are always there to help us, and we can email them anytime. They are very qualified in their respective fields. The course structure has been updated recently and is very relevant. Semester exams are held twice in a semester. We can get good grades easily if we study beforehand.

College is the support for all the sports and infrastructure, and the food is good.

Faculty: Teachers are very good, and they have as much knowledge as I can imagine. Some subjects are difficult, like fluids and Fourier Maths, while others are easy, like Chemistry subjects. The course makes students industry-ready, as working with a professor on a project is a compulsory course that is given to us.

Overview for freshers in 2026.

Faculty: The professors are all well qualified in their teaching fields, both theoretically and practically, but the variety of teaching quality is not grand. Exams are scheduled on time, and the curriculum is atleast turned to modern needs if not industry ready. The difficulty of the exam is always on the higher side, but its bearable.

It is a good college if you are going for placement.

Faculty: They are more qualified than I, so I can't judge them. Chemical is chill compared to other branches. Semester exams are good, but sometimes the schedule is hectic. Academic is chill compared to other IITs. The grading system is decent, but try to maintain above 8.5 CPI.

My college is good, the best for placements and much more. You will have quality time for a duration

Faculty: Scoring good marks is easy except for a few subjects. Old professors are good, they teach well, but new professors are somewhere selfish and egoistic, they do not give grades. Semester is very difficult unless you do not study anything to become industry ready you have to do it yourself.

Best engineering college in Uttar Pradesh.

Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified. Most of them did their Ph.D from IITs or other reputed colleges in other countries. The first year curriculum is a slight mixture of all subjects and makes students industry ready in other ways. Semester exams are not difficult. The batch size is approximately 150, of which 15 are branch changes.

Lifetime experience in IIT BHU.

Faculty: B.Tech curriculum is highly comprehensive and theoretically strong. Exams, mainly mid-semester and end-of-semester, are frequent and conceptually difficult. It requires a deep understanding of the subject. At IIT BHU, the faculty-to-student ratio is 1:15. Professors are highly qualified experts, though their teaching style and approachability vary. The best faculty are those who serve as excellent mentors and make complex subjects engaging.

The best college for placements.

Faculty: The teachers are very well educated and helpful. They make us think beyond the syllabus for deep understanding. This course is about process control and instrumentation, chemical relations, etc. This course is so much industry-related. The exams are a bit tough.
