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.
