Journey to IIT-BHU

IIT JEE (Jee Advanced) 2014. AIR 2794 and Marks 196/360. I was always wanted to be a mechanical engineer because in my view a mechanical engineer is the real engineer and at my rank this college was the best option as well as IIT-BHU's mechanical engineering department is one of the top mechanical engineering departments in the country.

Yes my college provides internships after 3rd year. Average stipend for core branches is around 20000 per month with highest being 2.5 lacs per month. Whereas in Non core branches it is around 50000 per month whereas highest being 5 lacs from Google (GSOC). HUL, Honda are the top companies in core where as Google, Microsoft in non core.

Placement scenario is superb. Even if you have backlogs you can fetch job easily here. You have to show just little dedication and that's all. We have one person one placement policy. Companies from all fields like software, analytics, management, core visit our campus.

It is feasible for students admitted before 2016. But the fee hike for 2016 students is not justified because institute is not providing facilities according to the increased fee. General Category Students admitted before 2016- ₹50,950 per semester. General Category Students admitted in 2016- ₹1 lakh per semester.

Hostel rooms are not up to the mark. In room of 2, 3 students are residing and the LAN (internet) conditions are severe. You will see "chuna" in the rooms. Mess food is nice and it is praised time to time by students of other IITs too during college festivals.

We have 2 class tests and one end semester exam. In 4 months semester 2nd month is for Class test 1 carrying 20% wieghtage and Class test 2 in 3rd month carrying 20 % weightage where as end sem in last month carrying 40% and rest 20 % is for assignments, quizzes and practicals.

Step 0: Registration for Jee mains starts in the month of November aand closes in December. Step 1: Jee Mains (April 2014) The minimum cut to qualify for Jee advanced was around 110 and I got around 230 in the qualifying exam. Step 2: Jee Advanced (May 2014). The minimum cut to be eligible for counselling was around 160 i.e around AIR 7000 and I got 196. Step 3: 3 Round online counselling where I initially got IIT Indore Electrical but finally at the end of all rounds I got IIT-BHU Mechanical.

Although all the faculty members are highly qualified with degrees from top colleges of world but mostly are not up to the mark in terms of teaching. Very few are dedicated and pouring real knowledge to the students rest are just doing formality and just looting the governments money.
