IIT BHU is located within the Banaras Hindu University campus and is an excellent place for academics that has a very good placement record. Here are some facts related to IIT BHU:
To conclude, IIT BHU is a very old and well-established institution that offers very good placement opportunities and has a good academic curriculum (excellent as per some, decent as per others). However, the infrastructure is very old and needs significant improvement.
I think choosing IIT (BHU), Varanasi is a better option here considering the various perks it will offer
IIT BHU is one of the oldest institutes and is daily a preferable choice to IIT Hyderabad, a new IIT.
My brother is an alumnus of IIT (BHU) Varanasi and has a special attachment to this place. He still is in touch with his friends from the college. Recently, a miracle happened. He got the golden opportunity to deliver a talk at IIT after 30 years of his graduation.
On reaching the institute he received a warm welcome, and a student even offered to take him on a tour of the campus.
The first visit he made was to his final year hostel that had the most amazing memories, Visvesvaraya Hostel. He realized that apart from a new flow and changes in the occupancy number, everything was just the same. After this, his 2nd and 3rd year hostel, the Limbdi Hostel seemed to have changed a bit and seemed livelier.
By 6 30 he was ready to deliver his lecture although anxious about the audience. Surprisingly enough the hall was full and many had come to attend the lecture. He spoke on the current economic condition of India and answered all their queries. After this, there was a group picture with the members of the club.
The students requested him to give an interview on the current economic scenario of the country. He was amazed by their enthusiasm and agreed to do so.
The visit brought back the best memories and he left with a heavy heart and teary-eyed in awe with the warmth and spirit of the students and the institute.
IIT BHU placements are decent for Ceramic Engineering. But very few students get core placements. Tata Steel is among the core recruiters that take part in the campus drive.
Most students are recruited in non-core job profiles such as Software Developer, Data Scientist, etc. The highest CTC offered for the students of this branch is around INR 38 LPA.
If you ask me, being a student of IIT BHU myself, I think it is a better choice than IIT Guwahati.
If you are currently deciding between IIT Guwahati and IIT BHU, it is important to consider several factors before making your final decision. While both institutions are highly ranked and reputable, they do have some differences that may be important to you. Here are some things to keep in mind:
In summary, both IIT Guwahati and IIT BHU have their strengths and weaknesses. Ultimately, the choice between the two comes down to your personal priorities and interests. If you prioritize infrastructure and facilities, then IIT Guwahati may be the better option. On the other hand, if placement opportunities and a strong alumni network are your main concerns, then IIT BHU may be a better fit. Whatever your decision, be sure to choose a branch that aligns with your passions and goals.
If you are interested in CSE but choosing Mathematics and Computing just for the sake of overlapping courses, then trust me you are making the wrong decision. I have seen many CSE branch seekers taking Mathematics and Computer to land CSE-related jobs. Let me tell you frankly, Mathematics and Computing are no substitutes for Computer Science.
If you want to get a deeper understanding of this, go through the Syllabus of Mathematics. You will find most courses that are theoretical, abstract, and purely mathematical and very few courses related to Computer Science. Mathematics at IITs is not everyone’s cup of tea. It is extremely tough, unlike JEE Math.
However, if you are passionate about Mathematics and want to pursue a research career in it, go for it. The courses might include lengthy proofs of Mathematical Induction and set and relation theory. Discuss the curriculum once with students of Mathematics at IIT and then make the final decision. Usually, the coursework in Mathematics and Computing is the same for all the IIT Branches.
To sum it up, if you are planning to take Mathematics and Computers just for the CSE courses, please make a better decision. My best advice would be to go for CSE in a better engineering college like IIT Hyderabad or Indore.
CSE in IIT BHU is good. The institute has one of the largest alumni bases for the CSE branch in the country. The placement averages around 100% for CSE students. The domestic average salary package for the branch is 25 LPA. The placement statistics of CSE in IIT BHU are comparable to the top 7 IITs in the country.
The coding culture on campus is quite active. The programming club holds workshops and competitions around the academic year. Since academics aren’t that demanding at IIT BHU, you will get enough time to pursue other technical and co-curricular activities.
For CSE, ragging is completely non-existent. Seniors are quite helpful. You can ask for their help regarding coding or academics.
Your question is outright demeaning the credibility of one of the oldest technical institutions in India. In its initial years, IIT Kanpur was mentored by IIT BHU. considering this do you still think IIT BHU is inferior to other IITs? It has some of the most successful alumni who are contributing largely to the country and raising the flag of the institute high. It is wrong to negate its legacy of excellent and rich heritage just because of the lack of funds it receives. IIT BHU enjoys a good reputation as a part of the IIT family and only 2 kinds of people don't consider it an IIT. Those who go for a less preferred branch in the top IITs and make such comments because of their inferiority complex or those people who speak gibberish about other institutes just to promote their institutes during counseling.
Either way, rather than paying heed to such comments, believe what your heart says and remember every college has its own flaws so it is you to decide which flaw to overlook.
Both IIT BHU and BITS Pilani have their strengths and what career you wish to pursue will decide which of the two will be a better option for you.
If students get the same branch at both institutions, they mostly end up choosing IIT BHU. However, most people are offered a better branch at BITS Pilani (main campus) than IIT BHU.
Here are the different parameters for a comparison between the two-
Both institutions are great in every aspect. However, one has a slight advantage over the other in the different aspects as discussed above. No matter whether you choose BITS Pilani or IIT BHU, you are sure to learn a lot and get selected for well-paying jobs. You must work hard to achieve your goals.
