IIT BHU: the pros and cons

4.2Helpful

Likes

The clubs, the people, the fests and the curriculum which is a bit easier than most old IITs
The professors are well educated and helpful if you pay attention

Dislikes

The college managements is full of people who are way to old and are completely out of touch with the modern reality.
Some of the infrastructure particularly the classrooms and hostels is way too old but things are slowly improving

Course Curriculum Overview:

The courses are not that tough if you give some effort and all of the professors are well qualified. Some professors speak English in regional accents which can be off-putting sometimes. There are ample amounts of labs with reasonable infrastructure to make them relevant in the commercial world. I like studying Fluid mechanics and heat transfer which motivated me take Mechanical Engg. Although it's not all rosy and there are many scopes for improvement as the some professors have no desire to teach and just write the theory on the board for us to copy with minimal engagement with the class. The exams are of a decent level and mugging up won't take you anywhere.

Truth about IIT BHU

3.9Helpful

Likes

I like the freedom it gives students to go out and in the campus comparing to other iits.
It has pretty good coding culture, promoting students to explore this field and excel in it.

Dislikes

It has open campus, letting outsiders roam in campus.
In fests, many bad people enters and they smoke and drink and create bad environment.

Placement Experience:

Placements take place during December and April for final year students. There are many companies who make offer for different fields including data science, software development, product management, etc. Highest package goes upto 1.5crores per annum and average package remains at 20 lacks per annum. Minimum 80 percent of students get placed during placements and remaining gets offers in off campus placements too. After getting degree, I plan to do job and get placed at a good company with decent package

Likes

My college have a open campus, which also allows bike to the student.
Its location is quite good, as it is in banaras so I love that.

Dislikes

Limited recreational activities beyond academics.
Occasional bureaucratic hurdles in administrative processes.

Placement Experience:

At IIT BHU, campus placements typically start from the seventh semester onwards. A wide range of companies visit the campus, offering diverse job opportunities across sectors. Companies like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Tata Group are among the prominent recruiters, making numerous job offers each year. The highest package offered can exceed ?1 crore, with average packages ranging from ?10-20 lakhs per annum, depending on the company and job profile. The placement percentage is consistently high, with the majority of students securing job offers before graduation. For those not opting for campus placements, there are various avenues for employability, including higher studies, entrepreneurship, or joining the workforce through off-campus placements. Personally, after completing my degree, I plan to pursue further studies in my field of interest, aiming to deepen my knowledge and skills for future career opportunities.

IIT BHU: 4 Answered Questions

What is your review of Indian Institute of Technology Varanasi (IIT BHU)?

Tithi SenguptaB.Tech from Indian Institute of Technology Varanasi (IIT BHU)

My review of IIT BHU will be based on some very common parameters.

Infrastructure: The academic buildings are not air-conditioned and are equipped with obsolete instruments. The hostels are surrounded by natural beauty but the living conditions are pathetic with cramped rooms and dirty toilets. The poor LAN connections are a major major problem here.
Faculty: The faculty again is very disappointing. some even lack basic knowledge and some are too arrogant to guide the students. The answer sheets are checked in a disorganized way and the pedagogy adopted is old school. So here, you will have to completely depend on self-study.
Research: The majority of the faculty focuses on administrative tasks and fails to encourage students to research work. The institute has no globally recognized research work to date.
Facilities: The library has poorly organized books and lacks good study material. The LAN network is another major issue faced by students here. The departments are closed by 6 ok and the library is locked by 10 pm. This is a major hindrance during exams.
Campus life: The frequent student activities make the campus life of IIT BHU lively and dynamic. A number of activities are organized in IIT-Gymkhana by the students and Kashi Yatra is the annual cultural festival of the institute. There are amazing sports facilities like huge grounds and fields for Cricket, Football, Badminton, and Tennis.
Placements: IIT BHU has one of the best placements among the top IITs. Currently, IIT Bhu Placements 2023 is being held and around 474 offers and 305 PPOs have been made. IIT BHU's highest CTC was recorded at INR 1.2 CPA. A total of 117 recruiters took part in IIT BHU Placements 2023. Top recruiters included Airbnb India, Uber, Microsoft, Accenture, Piramal, etc. Last year the highest CTC stood at INR 2.05 CPA which was offered by UBER.

Overall, IIT BHU is a great choice if you are willing to sacrifice the hostel conditions and self-study.

What are the changes that took place in the college after IT-BHU got converted into IIT BHU?

Nivedita TrivediLives in Varanasi

My friend was a student at IIT BHU and he witnessed a number of changes as the IT BHU got converted into IIT BHU.

The Vishwakarma hostel became a 3 storied building
Kashi yatra, the annual socio-cultural festival of IIT(BHU) Varanasi stayed open till 10.
The grading system first changed to absolute from relative and then finally back to relative grading.
Mid-semester tests were introduced in place of class tests.
One of the sandwich shops became a complete multi-storied restaurant.
The Chemical Engineering department was updated in many ways.
The students were no longer allotted single rooms.
The campus facilities were improved including the Internet connections.
The 90 % attendance rule was introduced.
The institute got 3 new directors.

These were some of the changes my friend witnessed after the IT BHU got transformed into IIT BHU.

What are the views of IIT-BHU students about Kashi Utkarsh?

Nivedita TrivediLives in Varanasi

My friend is an alumnus of IIT-BHU and he was a member of the Kashi Utkarsh too. He claims the organization is doing really well in eradicating the prevalent social constraints through the collective efforts of the group. The body convinces the financially weak families living in Varanasi slums to send their children to schools with the help of KU funding.

As easy as this may sound, the actual process is very tiring. The families are hell-bent against education and persuading them is a big task. The relentless efforts of the team members of KU and their compassion to serve the weak have brought massive changes in society.

However, some students of the institute don’t give KU the respect they deserve and are not ready to spend a single penny claiming that KU pockets the funds themselves.

If you visit the social media handles of the KU members, you will find a list of children who get into the formal education system along with their school fees being paid by KU. Dictionary the constant assistance from professors like Prof. Ashim Mukherjee with KU helps KU stay strong.
