Life-changing experience at IIT.
Placements: In the mechanical engineering branch, there are two types of placement: core and non-core placement. About 78% of students got placed in 2023. Out of some non-placed students, some went abroad for higher education, and some joined IIMs to do an MBA, while others got placed outside the campus. For core placement, there are companies like TATA, Birla, Mahindra, etc. For non-core, there are MNCs like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, JP Morgan, De Shaw, and many more.
Infrastructure: The mechanical engineering branch needs more practical knowledge and hands-on experience for valuable learning. We have engineering drawing and machine drawing labs. Then, we have manufacturing practices lab, supercomputer lab, and machinery. Apart from that, there is a common library for all students with over 1 lakh books, and there are e-resources too. The institute also has 24*7 Wi-Fi facilities. Our institute deeply focuses on physical activities and sports. We have SAC (Student Activity Center) for indoor games. We have Gymkhana, Adv Ground, and Rajputana Ground for volleyball, cricket, hockey, basketball, and kho-kho.
Faculty: Faculty members here are quite supportive and helpful. They are highly qualified researchers and are very knowledgeable. They are willing to help you even after class hours. Exams in IITs are quite tough, but there is a relatively fair marking scheme, so you have to go with the flow.
Other: IITs are known for their fests. Every festival, irrespective of religion, is celebrated in a grand way here. We also have a socio-cultural fest, techno-management fest, freshers fest, and many more events taking place every week. The campus is quite large and green.

One of the best IITs in India, but declining due to it's security concerns and infrastructure.
Placements: So, we had a decent placement in the previous-year batch. Approximately 80% placement is seen in the Chemical of IIT BHU, including all the domains. The average package is around 20 lacs. And the mean package remains about 18 lacs. This data is not good as compared to previous batches due to the recession.
Infrastructure: IIT BHU is more than 100 years old, so the conditions of the buildings are not good at all. Lecture theaters are newly built and, hence, in good condition. But the hostels and departments' conditions are not at all satisfactory. But the work is in progress to build new hostels and renovate department buildings.
Faculty: IIT BHU offers one of the most qualified and best faculty members in India. A Ph.D. is the minimum criteria for the professors. Most of the professors are Ph.D.s and research scholars. And talking about the curriculum of the chemical branch, it is easier as compared to branches like electrical and electronics.
Other: The college has a great alumni network, and the placements are very good. But the college lags in its infrastructure and security.

Not too disappointed, infrastructure is bad, but placements are the best thing.
Placements: About 68% students got placed in my branch this year, which is quite low according to previous year, top recruiters are Goldmann sach, microsoft, jaguar, tata, Google, etc., the highest this year was 54 LPA, the lowest was 7 LPA; the average was 19 LPA; and if we talk about interns, approx. 20% got intern in adobe, tata, Google, etc.; the top roles were sde, data analyst, finance, etc.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our college is so poor as it is too old, so you have to compromise with it. Wi-Fi connectivity is good, classrooms are bad, no AC is installed, the library is the best full-air conditioned, hostels are bad, only DG2 is good, the quality of food is good, although. canteens are best open till 4:00 am, the medical facility is good, ambulance support is 24 hours a day, and sports and games facilities are also good.
Faculty: Teachers are qualified, but they don't want to teach us perfectly. Only a few are good ones; teaching quality is bad. I don't think that the curriculum is relevant; it doesn't make students industry-ready. Ya, but semester exams are tough, and pass percentages in all courses are good, but for a few courses like F.M. and H.M.T., approx. 25% fail each year.
Other: I opt because only I am getting this; the best thing is that it is so tough; teaching quality must improve; ya, festivals are a good thing about it, but only pro nights, not the whole fest.
