B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering - Batch of 2029

4.2

4Placements4Infrastructure5Faculty4Crowd & Campus Life4Value for Money

Absolutely satisfied with the good faculty members and placements.

Placements: About 90 percent of the students in my course (mechanical branch) are placed. The highest package is 3.4 crore per annum. The lowest package is 8 LPA. The average package is 10 LPA. About 80 percent of students get internships in college. Top recruiting companies are HPCL and ISRO.

Infrastructure: The college has very good Wi-Fi. It has clean and well-equipped labs. There are very good, nice, and clean classrooms. The quality of the food is not that satisfying but somewhat okay. They mostly cook potatoes. The library is very good. Medical and sports facilities are average.

Faculty: Teachers and professors are very helpful, highly qualified, and highly knowledgeable. Exams are very difficult and simple if we study from the beginning. They are hard if we neglect them. The pass percentage highly depends on the subject professor.

Satisfied with placements, but the infrastructure is not good. They are working on improving it.

Placements: Placements are quite good here, of course, as it is the Indian Institute of Technology. Especially in Computer Science and Engineering, the placement rate is even better. Out of 109 students, 96 are placed last year. The highest package is 90 LPA, and the average package in Computer Science and Engineering is 35 LPA.

Infrastructure: The hostel infrastructure is not very good as it is an old college. I do not like the mess food much, but it is fine. Since I am from the South, I find the food too sweet for my taste.

Faculty: Teachers are knowledgeable, but a few cannot explain the subjects well to students. The course curriculum is good and relevant. Semester exams are very hard here, especially for Mechanical courses. The pass percentage for other courses is good. For Mechanical courses, it is only around half, I guess. A few faculty members are quite good and friendly, but some only teach for the salary. They come, teach, and leave.

Review of IIT BHU Pharmaceutical Engineering.

Placements: Around 65-75% of students get placed. Around 18-20 LPA is the highest package, the average package is 8-9 LPA, and the lowest package is 4-5 LPA. Top recruiters are from very great and big firms, I think so the culture at companies is very good and well maintained, companies like Cipla, Dr Reddy's, Sun Pharma, etc.

Infrastructure: As you know, IIT is one of the biggest institutions in the world, and to be specific, IIT BHU is very old and well settled in this field, so it takes care of students and knows the problems of students with this much experience. The hostels are very clean, the lecture halls have AC, and the hostels have Wi-Fi, and it's high-speed.

Faculty: The faculty at IIT BHU is very qualified, as it's one of the biggest academic institutions in the world. Most of the teachers/professors have PhDs in their respective fields. The curriculum is also very up to date, and it is aligned with the needs of fields and companies.

Review of Indian Institute of Technology, BHU, Varanasi.

Placements: The college is well-known for its placements, right after the spiritual atmosphere of Varanasi. Students usually get internships in their third year, and placement season starts in the 7th semester for B.Teach and the 9th semester for IDD students. This year, the highest package offered was 1.68 CPA, and more than 100 companies visited for both core and non-core roles. The average package stayed around 23-24 LPA. Over 80% of students got placed, which is a big positive considering the current recession.

Infrastructure: The college has pretty good infrastructure and decent amenities. The on-campus housing is actually comfortable and managed well, so many students prefer staying there. The food service is okay, too, not anything special, but it does the job. Overall campus experience was good and nice.

Faculty: Honesty, the faculty here is amazing. Every teacher really knows their subject and teaches with interest. They are approachable and always ready to help. Their teaching style makes it easier to understand the concepts. The curriculum is updated, and the exam papers are balanced not too tough, not too easy.
