That is why there is a high competition for the core field, But in other fields like coding, analyst, consultant, marketing and others fields, options are there.

Best of IIT, BHU, campus life and facilities.
Placements: 90% are placed in the last year. The highest package is 55.1 LPA. The average package is 23 LPA. The lowest package is 10 LPA. The top recruiting company is Thai Chem Ltd. 70% students got internships in my course. The top roles offered are final product analysis.
Infrastructure: The best facilities are provided. The complex is very good, clean and big. Students roam around the campus very easily. Wi-Fi, classes and everything are top class. The canteen is also very good. Medical facilities have a health centre for students. Sport is also very good.
Faculty: Professors are highly qualified with one of the most prestigious PhD degrees you can expect. The course curriculum is also very good and relevant to all the students. Semester exams are kind of average because they are sometimes easy to score and sometimes not.

Great college for study, for the environment, and for campus life.
Placements: At least 80 percent of the students eventually get placed till the end of the placement season, comprising packages varying from 3-4 LPA to 1.5 CPA. Top companies include Microsoft, Google, Samsung, Goldman Sachs, BNY, Coforge, Mahindra, Nvidia, and many more.
Infrastructure: Hostel facilities depend on the hostel you are allotted to. 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.
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.

Good campus life with a lot of places nearby.
Placements: The highest package for my course is around 90 LPA, and the median is around 27 LPA. Around 80–90 percent of students get placed, and mostly everyone gets internships. The top recruiting companies are NVIDIA, Intel, Qualcomm, Samsung, etc. The roles offered are VLSI designer, power electronics operator, etc.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure is a bit old because the college is established in 1919. But the hostels and other resources are very easily available. Wi-Fi is available all over the campus. The food is good and hygienic. For every game, there is a well-developed playground.
Faculty: The exams here are very tough. The teachers are very well educated and helpful. The teachers teach in a course-related way and are mostly well prepared for industrial development. The teachers help even during breaks. There is relative grading for exams.
Other: KashiYatra is the cultural fest, Technex is the tech fest, and Spardha is the sports fest.

If you want a good package, then you should join this college.
Placements: Almost 95-96 percent of students in electrical have been placed. The highest package given is 1.2 crore per annum, which was in the field of cybersecurity. The lowest is around 12 LPA, and the average package is around 27 LPA, while the median is around 30 LPA. Top recruiting companies include Texas Instruments, Microsoft, and Nvidia. Around 50 percent of students from electrical engineering grab an internship. Specifically, this year, 55 students got an internship. [8 core and rest non-core ] Top roles include SDE, cybersecurity, VLSI designer, etc.
Infrastructure: Sometimes there is a problem with Wi-Fi connectivity in our hostel rooms. The library is very good, and it contains all types of books that are required. Classrooms are okay. Labs are very good, but some of the equipment has mechanical errors. The medical facility is excellent. Food quality depends on which type of mess you have joined, like in a sattvik mess, where Jain food is served, the quality of food is excellent compared to other messes. The sports facility is also very good. The canteen also provides good food.
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.
Placements: In the electronics branch, the placement percentage is approximately 81 percent. The highest package is 90 LPA, the lowest is 7.5 LPA, and the average is 23.5 LPA. Top companies are Google, Microsoft, and Nvidia. 40 percent of students got internships in core jobs, where the major company was Nvidia, and a few also got internships in SDE. Roles include VLSI, embedded systems, and PCB.
Infrastructure: The facilities are very good at IIT BHU. Wi-Fi covers the entire campus, and classrooms are fully modernized. There are 4 lecture theatres in our college. For freshers, IIT BHU has the best hostel among all IITs, named PC Ray Hostel, which covers all required infrastructure and is newly made, so it looks aesthetic as well. There are 3 huge grounds in IIT BHU, which cover facilities for all sports. We have SAC for indoor games and a newly made gym, which is the biggest sports auditorium as well.
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 on nodal analysis is often more reliable than mesh rules when dealing with the complex, multi-source branches common in advanced electronics.
Other: Living in Varanasi offers a unique blend of heritage and high-tech education. The campus is vast and green. I’m particularly excited about joining the Club of Electronics (the technical club under the SNTC), which provides a great platform for freshers to work on robotics and embedded systems projects.

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.
