Indian Institute of Technology, BHU, Varanasi

IIT-BHU is a better option.

Pharmaceutical Engineering is growing with development. It may not be that much alluring though. You can surely join IIT BHU Pharmaceutical Engineering. But make your mind, that you have to go in the non-core sector if required.

It's a tough one. If you want to join the core sector after engineering, go for IET Lucknow. And if you are okay with joining a non-core job, it may be anything like consulting or coding. Then, join IIT BHU. IIT gives the exposure and experience.

Taking a drop or not is solely your decision. Are you ready to study for one more year? It takes dedication, vigor, and motivation. The last thing is hard to keep. Students lose motivation after some months and end up performing bad. If you are sturdy headed, go for a drop. Personally, I would recommend joining the college.

IIT BHU is a good choice for Mechanical Engineering. It is a century old college. It got placements, alumni base, and infrastructure. IIT Indore is relatively newer IIT and it takes some time to build a place. IIT BHU is the second best college in terms of placement in India.

That is based on your interest solely. I would suggest NSIT CSE as IIT Bhubaneswar is a new IIT and textile at IIT Delhi would not get that many placements in the sector. If you want a well-established college culture and willing to discover your interests, go for IIT Delhi. But know this, that you will have to make your own way, be it coding or any other job.

It all depends on your interest. Electrical is a core branch, so choose wisely. I would suggest going for electrical in IIT Dhanbad as placements are good in electrical. If the branch would have been same, then IIT BHU would be the choice.

Dear Diptam, for getting admission in any branch of engineering, you should either pass class 12th with minimum 45% marks or you can either pursue Diploma engineering after class 10th or 12th class.

The cut off rank is different for different branches. It is around 6k.

OBC candidates need a score of above 110 for IIT, Dhanbad and above 200 for IIT, BHU.
