What did you take away from IIT BHU after completing your degree?
Everyone’s college holds a special place in their lives and they take a part of it within them. Academics is not the only thing that your college teaches you. In fact, it helps you grow as a person and the difference can be felt in your personality when you join and when you leave. There are many things that IIT BHU taught my brother who still cherishes his memories and college days.
Empathy: College life at IIT BHU or at any college brings you close to the lowest strata of the society and you end up befriending them be it the cleaning staff or the owner of eateries. You realise that as much as you want to get successful you can never stop associating yourself with these people.
Contentment: Another major thing that college life teaches you is satisfaction and contentment with the simplest things. You can find happiness in a plate of Maggi at HG, or Chai and chole samosa at LC, bun-Makhan at Lanka, cold coffee at VT, and lassi at Pahelwans.
Substance over Style: IIT is a place where you won’t be judged on the basis of your scooter or clothes or looks. You can stay just the way you are and you will learn to glamorize simplicity,
Accept failure: Those who haven’t made it into their favorite branch or IIT already have experienced failure and thus teach you a lot in life. You learn to accept the biggest digest with the biggest smiles.
Which one should I choose: IIT Jodhpur, IIT Ropar CSE or IIT BHU Electrical?
All three of the Indian Institutes of Technology you mentioned are well-respected institutions with strong programs in engineering.
All the aforementioned institutes are at similar levels and will give you the IIT tag. So the final decision depends on your priorities more than anything.
- If you value the branch more than the college then the preference order should be IITRPR>IITJ>IITBHU
- If you value the brand name of the college more than the branch then the preference order would be IIT BHU>IITRPR>IITJ
Without any doubt, IIT BHU is older and has a stronger brand value but it depends on which branch you will be getting. Ultimately, the best decision will depend on your personal preferences and goals.

Why are IIT Guwahati people competing with IIT Roorkee and IIT BHU people?
Based on different factors, you can categorize the IITs into various groups. For example, academically, the top IITs are IIT Kanpur, IIT KGP, and IIT Bombay. Similarly, IIT Guwahati is known for its top-notch accommodation facilities with single rooms allotted to every student. The campus encompassed by natural beauty is second only to IIT Roorkee.
Universities like IIT BHU and IT BHU despite being old, haven’t been able to reach the level of IIT Kanpur or Kharagpur. However, it does give a slight edge to IIT Delhi in terms of academics
Honestly, every student is aware of the actual credibility of his institute and chooses it anyway.
Either the Institute aligns with his preferences or that particular IIT was the only IIT he could make it into. So IITians don’t usually fight amongst themselves unless it’s an outsider trying to trigger them.

Is joining mechanical engineering in IIT BHU or CSE in NIT Surathkal or CSE in DTU better?
Following the sheep mentality, many claim that it’s the branch that shapes your career and not your institute. Well, don’t let such people mislead you into believing your career is all set if you take CSE irrespective of the institute you belong to.
CSE branch is a major crowd-puller but trust me any branch taken up at IITs is better than other technical institutes. The branch is temporary but the tag you will be getting is permanent and will stay with you forever. Moreover, as for the placement opportunities that are better for CS, you can always opt for noncore placements and acquire coding skills.
The campus life and exposure provided by IITs is like no other so if you choose a technical institute other than IIT, you will be missing out on a good college life. Also, the culture of most IITs is driven towards coding so many IIT companies offer placements to students other than the CS branch based on your skills.

Which companies are open for all of the branches at IIT BHU, and how many CTCs do they offer?
IIT BHU placements depend a lot on your TPR. Your TPR should have the ability to convince the recruiters and serve you in the most selfless way. He has the power to speak to HR and make you sit for top IT companies provided that you should be talented.
My friend was in the ceramic branch and loved coding. His dream was to get placed in a good IT company. However, very few computer companies approach ceramic students for placements. But because of his exceptional skills, he got recruited to a very good MNC that was IPE only to CS students.
Ultimately it depends on your TPR and your skills as to what companies approach you with good roles.
