Remarks
Talking about the major central institutes of India, IIT BHU comes in top five in India. Chemistry was my favourite subject since 11th standard and M.Sc in chemistry was a great step for my career. Admission criteria states that a student needs to clear IIT JAM and the interview round. Admission fee and the form needs to be submitted online only since the institute does not accept offline payments. I took admission in the general category.
Course Curriculum Overview
The entire course constitutes 80 credits including projects and assignments. Syllabus is covered in four semesters. Content of the course is updated after some time so that new studies are also added for the students to gain knowledge from. Quizzes, Seminars organized were very interesting and intriguing. Education qualification of the professors was a mix of doctorates and masters.
Placement Experience
Placement opportunities are less for the M.Sc students. Most of them prefer to go in teaching line. In my batch, very less students sat for the placements. Companies who participated were JP Morgan, Microsoft, Bajaj, Samsung, HP, VISA, Adobe, Amazon, CISCO, OYO, American Express, etc and they brought forth over 172 Pre-Placement Offers. Highest CTC went to Rs.1.03 CPA and international CTC was Rs. 1.53 CPA.
Fees and Financial Aid
There are only two kinds of scholarships available for the students. One is the Merit-cum means scholarship and National Fellowship and Scholarship for Higher Education of ST Students. Total fee for two years is Rs. 62380. I applied for the merit scholarship and got selected too. Separate form filling is there for the scholarship. Financial aid or education loan from the banks is also an option.
Campus Life
Varanasi being a religious city is famous for boat rides and temples. Campus life was ok. In the field of chemistry, few quizzes and competitions were organized for the students to participate and win prizes. Infrastructure of the campus is kind of old. New buildings were under construction when i was studying at the campus. I spent most of my time in the canteen and in the back lawns of the hostel.
