What is the average package of chemical engineering at IIT BHU?
Placements Of Chemical engineering at IIT BHU are quite decent. The average package which a chemical engineering student gets depends on the sector in which he/she will work. Broadly speaking, there are two sectors of work for chemical engineering students, first the core sector and second the non- core sector. The core sector comprises like ONGC, IOCL, HUL, ITC, etc. offers ranged between 10- 12 lakhs per annum in the year 2019. From the chemical engineering department, a total of 43 students got placed last year.
The second sector is the non-core sector which comprises software, analytics, and consultancy firms. Placements in this sector are relatively easy because more job offers are available particularly in the software sector. The average package offered by software firms is around 23- 24 lacs per annum and the highest package offered in this sector was 55 lacs per annum. These companies are not interested in academic credentials but are only concerned about the coding knowledge of the applicants. Generally, if a student starts coding in his/her 4th year then he/she settles with a package of Rs 10- 13 lacs per annum, but on the contrary, if a student starts coding from his/her first year then he/she generally gets a package of around 35 lacs. Also, some students pursue their career in analytical and consultancy firms. The average package in these firms is around 15 lacs per annum.
How is the ceramics department at IIT BHU?
My friend, like any other student, took IIT BHU Ceramic on the pretext of changing his branch. But the overall college life experience took him in awe and he lost focus on academics. Additionally, his batch was full of geniuses and he was unable to cope with the academic rigor. Only 10% of the branch is allowed to change their branch so there is tough competition making it very difficult. Ultimately he was unable to change his branch and was very disheartened.
But soon he started getting intrigued by the branch and gained interest in the same. Honestly, there are many ceramic engineering graduates excelling in almost every field today. The course structure is very flexible and gives you enough free time to prepare for competitive exams like Civils, CAT, GRE, GMAT, etc. At Least one student from every branch is able to make it into IIM Ahmedabad. However, in India, there is a dearth of opportunities in this branch, and professors from foreign countries are seeking young talents in the field. There are special vacancies for ceramic graduates in SAIL, EIL, RINL, and Mecon. Many students of the branch also establish their own startups.
My friend was very demotivated initially but after 4 lively years at the campus, interactions with the best professors, and excellent job opportunities he realized that Ceramic was the best option for him indeed.

How good are the facilities provided at IIT BHU compared to other old IITs?
IIT BHU provides a plethora of facilities and is on the same level as all the other old IITs and also provides some facilities which aren’t provided by old IITs. First and foremost, IIT BHU provides opportunities to learn some of the courses and foreign languages from the departments of BHU. This is unique in itself. Hostels are huge and almost all of them are renovated now. There are beautiful lawns inside each one of them( where you could play football ), a tennis court or two, some pull up bars, etc. Mess food here is decent compared to any other college, not only the old IITs. Internet speed is quite impressive here. With the new Wifi system installed in the college, access to high-speed internet is ubiquitous and you do not require to have a LAN and a laptop. Wifi downloading speed goes up to 20 Mbps sometimes.
Coming to the campus, it is the second-largest campus (1400 acres) in India with a whole lot of greenery and nature inside. You’ll see peacocks randomly strolling on the roads and monkeys occasionally. The BHU campus is in the middle of the city, so you will have easy access to restaurants, cinema halls, and the main attraction of Varanasi, the ghats. Most of the older IITs are far away from the cities, so you have to struggle for the above. There are newly constructed departments with state of the art laboratories and lecture theaters. A two-story fully renovated and air-conditioned library has been constructed recently. BHU library which is one of the biggest libraries in India could also be used by the students of IIT. In IIT BHU students can engage in sports like football, cricket, hockey, handball, basketball, athletics, taekwondo, boxing, etc. Besides this, there is a temple popularly known as VT (Vishwanath temple) which is one of the major attractions of BHU.
Placements are quite good at IIT BHU due to the huge alumni base of this IIT. Almost all of the major MNCs and other recruiters come here to recruit.

Is the infrastucture of IIT-BHU the worst? Does BHU not deserve to call itself IIT in terms of infrastructure?
I don’t deem it right to evaluate an IIT solely on the basis of its infrastructure when many new IITs are still operating from a temporary campus. IIT BHU works under the umbrella of BHU and shares its campus with it. Many administrative sanctions require approval from BHU not making it autonomous like other IITs.
As for the infrastructure, it might be getting old but it’s not lacking in any way. All the funds the institute received after conversion from IT to IIT were invested in improving the infrastructure of the institute.
- The hostels are designed with beautiful architecture and are huge. Every hostel has its own lush green lawn. The rooms are well-ventilated and have all basic amenities like a LAN port, bed, and fan.
- The institute also built 3 new boys' hostels that have bigger rooms, and better facilities but lack nature's touch as a whole.
- The institute promotes eco-friendliness and all the hostels and department buildings are equipped with solar panels.
- The sports facilities are limited to those who are genuinely interested in it as most sports amenities are shared with BHU students, limiting the opportunities and resources available.
- Every IIT BHU hostel has a badminton court and a volleyball court.
- There are big common rooms decked with an LCD, table tennis, and other indoor game facilities.
- IIT BHU has numerous student-run clubs that function throughout the week and organize interesting events.
So, it’s wrong to say IIT BHU is not worth being called an IIT just because its infrastructure is old. Rather, think about the heritage and experience it holds.
How are the placements for an M.Tech in the IIT-BHU (Banaras Hindu University)?
IIT BHU is one of the best engineering colleges in our country. So its placements are certainly good. The placements are slightly better for B.Techs, but even M.Techs receive ample opportunities. The placements are above 90% for CS, IT,EXTC, and core specializations.
If you get a chance to become a part of IIT BHU, you should definitely consider joining. However, for that, you’ll need a good GATE score. Apart from the placements, its academics will polish your knowledge and learning.
How can IIT-BHU be an IIT and a part of BHU at the same place ?
6 institutes, 14 faculties, and 140 departments comprise the whole of Banaras Hindu University. Before 2012 IIT-BHU was known as IT (Institute of Technology) and hence was under the administrative control of BHU itself. After 2012, IT BHU gained the status of IIT and became an autonomous institution. Since it is located inside the BHU campus, it is popularly called IIT-BHU. Otherwise, it can be called IIT-Varanasi too. It runs according to the IIT-council rules but doesn’t have a separate VC. The VCs are the same as that of BHU. Another major difference between these two institutes is in the mode of admission. BHU conducts its own admission test while IIT admission takes place through JEE mains and advance, GATE & GPAT.
