Who are the most approachable professors at IIT (BHU)?
My brother pursued his B.Tech from IIT BHU a few years back. He often talks about Dr. SK Sharma of the department of Mechanical Engineering. Sir is an extremely honest and hardworking person, and a teacher in the true sense of the word.
He treats his students like his own children, and spends all the money received from the department in providing equipment for their projects. Working under him is an honor. He helps his students in every possible way, and suggests amazing project ideas with a lot of enthusiasm. He motivates his students to publish their research papers on great platforms, and helps them in every possible way.
Sir is a very approachable and good teacher, and my brother will forever be indebted to him for his support and guidance.
Which is better CSE in thapar or ceramic in IIT BHU ?
Ceramic Engineering and CSE are two completely different fields of study. CSE offers better placement and packages as compared to Ceramic and though both these institutes are well-reputed the IIT tag offers certain advantages. So it’s quite difficult to choose an institute over the other.
In terms of internships, since Thapar is a private college, they have their own standards regarding schedules. In the internship session of 2019, almost 1200 students got placed. The internship session of IIT BHU includes many big names such as Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, Morgan Stanley, etc.
In terms of placements, IIT BHU has performed very well. In 2019, the highest package offered was 1.03 Crore per year in domestic and four students received international offers of 1.53 Crore. Whereas, Thapar received the highest package of 39 LPA, which is quite low but the average packages of both colleges are almost similar. IIT BHU placement statistics show that 171 students chose core companies.
Thapar has better hostel and mess facilities whereas IIT BHU’s campus is spread over 400 acres, which is 150 acres more than Thapar’s. In terms of connectivity, IIT BHU has better connectivity and therefore can be assumed to have more exposure. Both colleges are good and have their own advantages. So pick the branch of your choice.
Which should be preffered IIT bhu electrical or BITS pilani EEE?
IIT BHU and BITS Pilani are two highly reputed institutions for engineering studies in India.
IIT BHU would be a better option over BITS Pilani because of these reasons:
- Brand Value: IIT BHU carries the prestigious “IIT'' tag. Thus, it has a greater brand value than BITS Pilani. This becomes important when applying to foreign universities for your higher studies.
- Fees: As a government institution, the fees of IIT BHU is much more affordable as compared to BITS Pilani. Thus, IIT BHU has a higher ROI (Return on Investment) because it offers even better placements than BITS Pilani.
Here are the important comparisons between IIT BHU and BITS Pilani:

Because of all the reasons listed above, I would suggest you opt for Electrical at IIT BHU over EEE at BITS Pilani.
What should I choose, CSE at IIT Hyderabad, BHU, mechanical at IIT Kharagpur or electrical at IIT Roorkee?
Irrespective of the IIT you choose, CS placements are excellent everywhere with very lucrative packages offered to its top rankers. A good student can pay a package as high as INR 30-40 LPA in CS whereas the same students will only end up with a package of INR 10–15 LPA.
While many may comment that placements should not be the only determining factor, I am here to contradict that opinion. CS is a branch that is dynamic and any engineering aspirants will be attracted to it naturally while other branches are a bit rigid and require specific attention.
As far as CSE at IIT BHU is concerned, it’s at par with most older IITs. The majority of the batch is pre-placed or placed on the first day itself. A few top recruiters include Goldman Sachs, Oracle, Microsoft, etc.
Why is IT-BHU now referred to as IIT BHU?
IIT BHU used to be an engineering course under the administration of BHU and was known as IT BHU. In 2012, the government granted IT BHU the status of an IIT. Since that moment IT BHU became IIT BHU, the sixteenth IIT of this country. The primary reason for the establishment of IITs was to promote research work in our country. IT BHU had a big contribution to research going on in India. Although IIT BHU still shares the same campus as BHU, it is a different institute. Being an IIT has brought many changes in IIT BHU. It is receiving more funds from the government. The research work has also boosted. Many state-of-the-art research equipment has also been brought into the college. So, that is the reason why IT BHU is now referred to as IIT BHU.
How is placement in IIT (BHU) Varanasi in the mechanical branch for M.Tech?
Placements of any college depend on its Alumni Network and this fact can’t be denied that being a 100-Year-Old institution IIT BHU has a wide range of alumni working in every area. Placements here are comparable to other IIT’s. MTech in Mechanical at IIT BHU has a good placement percentage. IIT BHU has Training and Placement Cell working hard for the placement of their students.
There are several PSUs like IOCL, ISRO, BPCL, HUL, CIL, ONGC, etc. who came to the campus for placement drive. Besides there are other private firms too like Bajaj, Maruti, Jaguar, Trident Automobiles, etc. that visit campus too for recruiting students from MTech in Mechanical Engineering. With good placement percentage students are placed in well knows firms with an average pay package of 8.10 Lakhs per annum and the highest package offered was 30 LPA CTC.
Which is better, CSE at ISM or Electrical at IIT Bhu?
I am a student of Electrical Engineering at IIT BHU. Even though CSE is the most popular branch in today’s job market, I would recommend you go with the second option. Here are the reasons that make IIT BHU a better choice than IIT(ISM) Dhanbad:
- IIT BHU was established in 1919, while IIT Dhanbad was established in 1926. This gives IIT BHU an edge in terms of experience and legacy.
- IIT BHU offers a wider range of engineering disciplines. Even IIT Dhanbad does so, but it is mainly known for its contribution in the field of mining and earth sciences.
- IIT BHU ranks comparatively better in various national rankings.
- IIT BHU has a large and diverse alumni base across various industries. Here are some reputed alumni from our institute-
- Sh. Ram Charan ((B.Tech. Mechanical, 1959)- A renowned business consultant, author and speaker.
- Sh. Jay Chaudhry ((B.Tech. Electrical, 1980)- CEO and Founder, ZScaler, USA).
- Dr. Indu Bhushan (B.Tech. Electrical, 1981)- Ex-CEO, National Health Authority and Ayushman Bharat, Govt. of India.
- Sh. Nikesh Arora (B.Tech. Electrical, 1989)- CEO, Palo Alto Networks, USA.
- Additionally, IIT BHU offers a wide range of research opportunities and collaborations to its students.
- In terms of placements as well, IIT BHU is better than IIT Dhanbad.

Is there a minor degree concept in IIT (BHU)?
No, there is no minor degree concept in IIT BHU, yet. But if you have an interest, you can pursue it, irrespective of your branch. The institute offers open electives to students after the 4th and 8th semesters. You can choose an elective from the list of your steam elective or non-steam elective list. These electives are offered based on CGPA.
Are there bathroom attached hostel rooms in IIT BHU?
No, the IIT BHU hostels do not have attached washrooms. Even the rooms are shared, and you won’t get a single seater room facility over here. Most government colleges do not provide their students with premium facilities. IIT BHU is one of them.
Thus, IIT BHU only offers common washrooms to its students in the hostels.
Which is better- Electronics engineering at IIT BHU or ECE at IIT Guwahati?
