Mathematics and Computing at IIT(BHU) is a dual-degree program, which promises a bright career for students. The placements of Mathematics and Computing (MnC) are almost at par with that of Computer Science and Engineering. All students who sit for the placements are recruited within the first two days of the placement season. Exact statistics are not revealed to maintain the confidentiality of companies as well as students. However, the average CTC offered to students in IIT BHU varies each year, according to the placement highlights of 2019, it’s 8 LPA. Some of the top recruiters which are usually open for recruiting are - Google, Amazon, Apple, Oracle, Goldman Sachs, Nutanix, Morgan Stanley, Flipkart, Nutanix, JP Morgan, Samsung, etc.
Getting in touch with the professors could be the easiest way to get an internship at IIT BHU. You can send an email to the professors with whom you want to carry on your work. All the contact details of the professors and department related personnel are available on the official site of IIT BHU. Now, mailing those profs. could be a difficult and tedious task because you may not get a reply right away. A solution for this is keep sending reminders at some intervals. Also, your statement of purpose ( SOP ) should be enthusiastic, keen, and well written. If you have any prior research experience at your college, then it would be of great help. If you know some professors personally, then the chances of getting the internship are high as well. IIT BHU also offers direct internships for summers, so just keep checking their official website.
Lastly your CGPA should be quite good and you should have good recommendations from the professors at your college.
IIT BHU has several hostels, and each one of them has 2-3 messes. Different people are given contracts for each mess, on an annual basis. Around 150-200 students eat everyday in each mess. This entire system ensures that quality food is served in the messes. This many messes can’t have a single menu.
There is no fixed menu as such even if we consider a single mess. The ‘Maharaj’ i.e. the person in charge, keeps on including/removing dishes, based on the prices of raw ingredients. For lunch and dinner, there is roti, two-three kinds of rice, 2-3 kinds of vegetable curries, and 1-2 kinds of dals. Salad forms a part of these meals.
Fruit salads, sweets and cakes are given at least once a week. On Saturdays, poori-chhole and a few snacks are served alongside other regular items. Special food items like 2-3 types of parathas, noodles, dosa, idli, etc. are added to the menu at least once every 2 weeks. Eggs are served twice a week, and paneer items are served to vegetarians. Chicken, fish and mutton are served twice a week. You can pay separately and order egg bhurji, omelet and egg rice anytime from the mess. The mess charge is around Rs. 12,000 per semester.
Overall, the mess menu is quite decent at IIT BHU.
I am a B.Tech student at IIT BHU. According to me, our institution is better than IIT Dhanbad in several aspects. Here are some of them-

At IIT BHU, you’ll form social connections with students/faculty members from various academic spheres, and not just engineering. This is because IIT BHU is a part of the reputed Banaras Hindu University.
Overall, IIT BHU is better than IIT Dhanbad, the only exception being if someone is highly interested in mining and related fields.
You seemed to have performed quite well considering your JEE rank and BITSAT score. While most board toppers fail to do well in competitive exams, you managed to excellently score well in all competitive exams. You seem to have great opportunities ahead if you join BITS Pilani, Pilani Campus, and CSE. considering your ranks and your being a board topper, you can easily maintain an 8 +. The only major drawback is the high fees for which you can seek assistance from the institute regarding scholarships.
Here are a few pros of BITS Pilani CSE
If you face serious financial issues and are unable to get BITS, don't lose hope as other colleges offer great opportunities too. The best way to determine the worth of an institute is to evaluate it on the basis of fees, placements, campus life, and academic and professional exposure. Analyze your preferences and go for the institute that satisfies your preferences the most.
My review of IIT BHU will be based on some very common parameters.
Overall, IIT BHU is a great choice if you are willing to sacrifice the hostel conditions and self-study.
For undergraduate courses, the comparison between IIT BHU and IIT Roorkee is kind of pointless. Since both institutes are well-reputed institutes. The faculty base and facilities offered to students for undergraduate courses are almost similar. The required cutoff for admission at both institutes is almost the same.
Although in terms of placement IIT BHU is a little ahead of IIT Roorkee.
IIT BHU does not release branch-wise placements so I will be talking about IIT BHU placements as a whole. As per the official data, IIT BHU highest package 2023 stood at INR 1.2CPA. This high package was offered by Graviton Research Capital. In addition to this,1,000+ offers were made including 305 PPOs. The total number of recruiters that visited on day one of IIT BHU placements 2023 was 308.

The placements scenario of each branch is witnessing gradual growth but the maximum number of students were placed from the Mechanical Engineering and Technology Department. Some of the major recruiters of IIT BHU, Varanasi include EXL, Wipro, Tata Steels, Oracle, Morgan Stanley, and Maruti.
It's difficult for me to say whether choosing IIT Guwahati CSE over IIT Varanasi CSE was a mistake without more information about your specific circumstances and goals. Both IIT Guwahati and IIT Varanasi are highly respected institutions, and both offer strong Computer Science programs that are rightly comparable in almost every aspect.
The placement scenario is similarly decent at both institutes with very little emphasis on research. The active Coding Club/ CSEA at IIT Guwahati gives it a slight edge over others. Both the institutes are excellent choices for whatever you want to do after graduation be it research, open source development, or a stable job.
The only distinguishing feature is the weather as IIT Guwahati has better weather conditions than IIT BHU. However, this flaw is compensated by better connectivity of Varanasi being on the mainland.
IIT BHU is counted among the top engineering institutes in the country. For B.Tech, IIT BHU ranking in India is 14 by NIRF 21. The ranking declined in 2021, compared to last year. In 2020, NIRF ranked the institute 11th among the top engineering colleges. The Week 2021 ranked IIT BHU 8th for overall.
