Review of Banaras Hindu University College.

Placements: About 55% of the students are placed in my department. The highest package is 5 LPA, the average package is 3.5 LPA, and the lowest package is 2 LPA. The students who got internships in several recruiting companies are 35%. Students opt for outside opportunities too.

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.

Improved placements in 2025 at IIT BHU.

Placements: Around 70% of students got placed from my course with the highest package of 51 LPA offered by Microsoft. The lowest package is 7 LPA-8 LPA and the average package is 16 LPA. Top recruiting companies are Microsoft, Amazon, Flipkart, Cars24, Google, Goldman Sachs, De Shaw, etc.

Infrastructure: Our department is well-equipped with different facilities like Wi-Fi, computer labs, AC in every classroom, and smartboards attached. The mess food is fairly good with varieties in the menu. Talking about hostels, some new hostels are decent with good infrastructure and facilities.

Faculty: Faculty members are highly qualified and supportive. The teaching quality is commendable, with a good balance between theoretical concepts and practical applications. Semester exams are moderately challenging, focusing on both understanding and application of concepts.

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.

All about IIT BHU and its pros and cons.

Placements: About 90% of people in my course are placed. The highest package offered is 51 LPA, the lowest is 8 LPA, and the average for 2023-24 is 19.6 LPA. Top recruiting companies include big software giants like Microsoft, Google, Goldman Sachs, American Express, etc. However, the number of students offered internships is comparatively less.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure at IIT BHU Varanasi isn't that great. We have decent labs with old machinery. Wi-Fi works well at most locations except a few. There are lecture halls, mostly without ACs. The library isn't very luxurious, but it holds a good collection of all the required books. Facilities in hostels are also decent, though not the best. First-year students have triple-sharing rooms, and the rest have double-sharing rooms. The food in the mess is good, but the canteens are a disaster since we don't have branded vendors like Nescafé or Domino's. Medical facilities are decent.

Faculty: Professors are helpful and know their subjects well. The teaching quality is good if you pay close attention. The course curriculum is relevant. The semester exam difficulty varies from moderate to difficult, but it's mostly based on the course and way of study. The pass percentage is high, with only a few students encountering backlogs in a few courses.
