IIT BHU is among the top Engineering colleges in India. NIRF 2020 has ranked IIT BHU in the 11th position for BTech. The average placement rate for all branches at the institute is 71%.
Electronics Engineering:
From the Electronics Engineering department at IIT-BHU, almost 95% of the students get placed each year. Placements of Electronics are par with Computer Science Placements.
Electrical Engineering:
The Electrical Department has very good placement records over the years. In last year’s placement, around 90% of the students from the department were placed.
Besides this all the Non-Core Sector Companies in the domain Analytics, Business, Management, Consultancies, etc. offer jobs in both departments but some software companies are open only for Electronics but generally overall companies visiting the campus for Electronics and Electrical Engineering are nearly the same. Hence according to the statistics, the placements of the Electronics Department are better than the Electrical Engineering Department.
Rather than giving you a direct answer, I am going to evaluate all The aforementioned institutes individually on the basis of some common parameters like placements, brand name, campus life, opportunities, and alumni.
IIT BHU ECE
IIT Guwahati ECE
IIT Hyderabad Maths and Computing
IIIT Hyderabad CSE
Ultimately, it’s a matter of preferences and what you are looking for in your degree.
I would suggest you choose Electrical Engineering at IIT BHU. Here are a few reasons why IIT BHU is a better choice for Electrical Engineering than IIT Hyderabad:
Some renowned alumni of the Electrical Department of IIT BHU are:

The recent downloading speed is around 6 Mbps during the day as the traffic is very high. During the night the speed definitely increases but the increase is not that significant since people are awake at night too. When you are allotted your hostel rooms you will get an Ethernet cable. The speed might improve if you use the Ethernet instead of the wifi. In recent years a network with 1 Gbps bandwidth has been set up which resulted in good internet speed.
This might look very high speed to some people reading this answer, but actually this is a pretty normal speed considering its an IIT. IIT Roorkee has far better speed than this.
Actually this is not a permanent name, this can be given to anyone who belongs to Mathura. In the hostels of IIT Bhubaneswar, there is a culture of giving people nicknames and very few people may know the real name of their acquaintances. There may be many reasons for a nickname to get fame. Commonly it’s because the person with that nickname may have indulged in many activities and everyone got to know him by his nickname. Shubham Gupta is one of the students who was named Mathurawasi by his friends in Hostel on the very first day. The reason he got that nickname was that he came from a place near Mathura (Uttar Pradesh), although his hometown was Rajasthan. He used to be one of the most active members of DC++. And due to that reason, the nickname got famous. Mathurawasi is a very common nickname among the students of IIT BHU. Almost every other student from Mathura gets the nickname Mathurawasi.
If you are looking for placement in the non-core sector then it is very good, it is one of the branches with most placement in IIT BHU. Otherwise, if you want to work in core companies you have to take the GATE exam as there are not many core companies offering placement to Chemical Engineering students in IIT BHU. This year 104 students got placed in chemical engineering, mainly in software companies. You can also bag PPO if you do well in your internships.
Some of the companies that came for placements are CSRL, Nucleus Software, PDPU, Fidelity, Nineleaps, Sokrati (business analyst profile), FIITJEE, ET MEDIALABS, TechnipFMC, Onix Capital, CGI, EMERGY Enviro Pvt. Ltd, Tavant Technologies, Info Objects, Mirum, Praktice.ai, Biorasi LLC, Ambuja Cement, HPCL, GAIL, Air Liquide (only for chemical as trainee engineer), Prism Johnson Limited (only chemical and mining were allowed). These companies offered an average package of around 8 lakhs whereas, the highest package was Rs. 1.53 Crore.
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.
Bachelor’s in pharmaceutical engineering at IIT-BHU is one of the most sought out degrees. There is a number of reasons to substantiate the above statement.

The placement cell is excellent and provides lucrative packages to the students. Top recruiters in the core sector include Dr. Reddy’s, Zydus, Matrix laboratories, Mylan, Sun-Pharma, etc. As pharmaceutical engineering is more research-oriented the starting packages in core placements are low as compared to the other sectors but it increases with experience.
Students can opt for non-core placements too, top non-core recruiters are Sony, IBM, Cognizant, TCS, Accenture, Wipro, Musigma, Evaluserve, and many more. Adding on to there is a wide scope of higher studies at foreign universities too.
