Life in IIT BHU as an electrical engineering student!!!

I have passion for engineering, electrical engineering sparks my interest. The course offered at IIT BHU is different in the regards that it mostly focuses on electrical, rather than electronics and electrical combined, as there is a separate branch for electronics. The faculty to student ratio is around one to ten (if you combine all teaching faculty of the electrical department). All the faculty members have done their PhD. Exams were very timely, the dates were told sufficiently before time. The exams were easy to pass, but it was difficult to score high marks.

There are various internship opportunities. Right from microsoft, google to Nvidia, there are various conpanies that take students for internship. One has to maintain a good CPI throughout for the best opportunities.

Students of the 7th semester are eligible for placements. The number of companies visited were hundreds. The highest package was Rs1.68 Cr. The lowest was Rs10 lack. The percentage of students getting placed was around 90 percent in out department.

The academic fee for those whose houshold income is greater than 5 lac per annum is Rs 106,350 per semester. There are a number of scholarships available though which can greatly reduce the fee. Also, M.Tech and PhD students are made Teaching assistants, for which they get stipend.

The annual fest of the college is excellent- Kashiyatra which occurs in the month of January. The infrastructure is old, but does not lack anything. Entire campus has good WiFi, free for students. Classrooms are large, with microphonss and speakers. Projectors are there in each leacture hall. There are various clubs, likd the indian music club, fine arts club, robotics club, etc.

The hostel facility is below par, three people are given accommodation together, in one room. The mess food is decent. The biggest con of hostel life is the poor quality of water. The registration process for hostel done once one has qualified the jee advanced exam.

The admission is through JEE-Advanced. One has to sit in both of the papers, that occur on the same day, and get a minimum cutoff score in each subject to be eligible for admission. Also, one must have scored at least 75% in board exams(class 12), or must have at least 80 percentile in the board exams to be eligible for admission. To sit in the jee advanced, one must have secured the cut off marks in jee main. The application form for jee main can be found at the NTA official website. The jee advanced form can be found out on the official website.
