Student at IIT Kanpur

Both IIT BHU and IIT Kanpur are one of the best and oldest institutes in India. But according to me IIT Kanpur is better than IIT BHU here are some reasons:

IIT Kanpur generally ranks higher than IIT BHU in the NIRF rankings. As of the most recent rankings IIT Kanpur is usually within the top 5 engineering institutes in India and IIT BHU typically ranks between 10 to 15.

Both IIT Kanpur and IIT BHU have excellent placement records. But as one of my friends is studying at IIT BHU information provided by him Electronics and Communication Engineering at IIT BHU has strong placement records with average CTCs typically ranging from 12 to 14 LPA whereas Chemical Engineering at IIT Kanpur also strong placement statistics with average CTCs typically ranging from 12 to 15 LPA.

The faculties of IIT BHU are dedicated and the research institutes are also good making it a conducive place for study, contrary to this, IIT Kanpur is known for its education, best curriculum, excellent faculties, and research facilities.

Based on the above information, IIT Kanpur is a better choice than IIT BHU.

Studied at Indian Institute of Technology Varanasi

If you are interested in a particular branch then go for that as IIT BHU and Kanpur both of these institutions are among the top institutions in India. Both the institutions are quite old, so they are up to the mark in the alumni network, placements, and internship, etc. But if you are not sure about the branch then consider the following points –

The department of Electronics Engineering at IIT BHU dates back to 1971 and equipped with good laboratory facilities. The faculties are well experienced. According to 2019 placement statistics, a total of 88 students got placed from Electronics Engineering. The average CTC offered at this IIT was around 8.19 lakhs/annum.

The department of Chemical Engineering in IIT Kanpur is considered among the best in the nation. If you are passionate about higher studies, research, or placement in government/ semi-government jobs (PSUs) then you can go for Chemical, but it has very few non-core placement opportunities. Chemical engineering provides more opportunities in higher studies and research. The average placement package offered at IIT Kanpur in 2019 was around 7.5 LPA.
