How did you feel after visiting IIT BHU after so many years?

AA
Aarti Ahuja Posted On : June 11th, 2023
Lives in Bhopal

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.

Integrated Masters Degree Mathematics and Computing, Indian Institute of Technology Varanasi

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.

Studies at IIT BHU

If you ask me, being a student of IIT BHU myself, I think it is a better choice than IIT Guwahati.

  • IIT BHU is one of the well-renowned academic institutions known for its exceptionally good academic standards and research facilities that it offers to the students.
  • The institution offers both undergraduate and postgraduate courses for individuals.
  • The placement scenario for IIT BHU is pretty good with the domestic highest package being INR 1.68 CPA and the international highest package being INR 77 LPA.
  • The average package for PPO was INR 31 LPA for the year 2023.
  • Some of the top recruiters were Qualcomm, Uber, Goldman Sachs, and Google.

PP
Pratik Parikh Posted On : May 1st, 2023

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:

  1. Choose a branch based on your interests: It is crucial to select a branch that you are passionate about, rather than one that is popular or has a higher ranking. Pursuing a field that you enjoy and excel in can lead to a more fulfilling and successful career.
  2. IIT Guwahati has better infrastructure: If you value modern facilities and equipment, then IIT Guwahati may be the better option for you. It is known for its advanced laboratories, libraries, and classrooms.
  3. IIT BHU has better placement opportunities: If job prospects after graduation are your top priority, then IIT BHU may be the better choice. It has a strong alumni network, and more international companies tend to visit the campus for recruitment purposes.
  4. Consider cultural societies: If you are interested in extracurricular activities, then you may want to look into the cultural societies at each institution. Both IIT Guwahati and IIT BHU have a range of clubs and organizations, but they may differ in terms of focus and opportunities.
  5. CSE at BHU is better than ECE or Mech: If you are considering a specific branch, such as computer science, then it is worth noting that IIT BHU has a particularly strong program in this area. This may be a factor to consider if you are specifically interested in CSE.

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.

What is better for mathematics and computing, IIT Kanpur vs IIT Kharagpur vs IIT Guwahati vs IIT BHU?

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : March 30th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

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.

How is CSE in IIT-BHU?

ST
Shivam Tyagi Posted On : February 14th, 2022
B.Tech Electrical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Varanasi (2022)

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.

Do students at the seven older IITs consider IIT (BHU) Varanasi an IIT?

PG
Prajukta Ghose Posted On : June 11th, 2023
Studied at the Indian Institute of Technology Varanasi

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-

  • Coding Culture and Tech Jobs- Similar tech companies visit BITS Pilani and IIT BHU for placements. In terms of ACM ICPC and GSOC performance though, IIT BHU is ahead of BITS Pilani
  • Non-Tech Jobs- Similar companies visit the campus for placements. However, BITS Pilani has an edge over IIT BHU.
  • Core Jobs- Here IIT BHU gets the advantage of its IIT tag. Supply chain companies visit the IITs in a larger number.
  • Startup Culture- BITS Pilani students have created great startups over time. The richest Indian-American is an IIT-BHU alumnus, he founded four highly successful startups.
  • Higher education- The alumni of IIT BHU and BITS Pilani pursue their masters in top universities in the USA. US universities give opportunities to IITians, and BITS students get the chance because of a huge alumni base with successful alumni in the research field.
  • Location and campus- Varanasi is a tier 2, whereas, Pilani is a tier 3 city. In comparison to Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore, life in them is a lot different. Inside the campus, life at both is very similar.
  • Fees- The course fees at BITS Pilani are much higher because it is a private university.

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.

Well, if you are getting similar branches in both institutes, BITS Pilani and IIT BHU, it's better to go for the IIT tag. But if you are getting a better branch at BITS consider the following points of comparison

  • Although similar tech companies visit both institutes, their performance in ACM ICPC and GSOC, that makes IIT BHU the better option.
  • For non-tech though, BITS seems to be a notch better option than IIT BHU although similar companies visit their respective campus.
  • IIT BHU has more supply chain-related companies because of the IIT tag
  • Although BITS Pilani has given birth to some great startups, IIT BHU is the clear winner here. The Richest Indian-American is an alumnus of IIT BHU owing to his four successful startups.
  • The students of both colleges have a reputation for doing their masters from top US universities. For IT BHU, the IIT tag is the lucrative aspect while FOR BITS it is the huge number of alumni in research.
  • Being a pirate university, BITS Pilani charges hefty fees from its students. 

Irrespective of the institute you choose, it is your efforts that will make you successful so choose wisely.
