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.

Totally worth it, just come to an IIT and you will live your life.

Placements: There are more than enough rules offered for this branch, as well as the core structure, which is really interesting so that the people can explore their fields and their interest in pursuing higher education in physics, as well as give them a chance to get to know about other departments and their courses by selecting open electives.
