IIT bhu college review

Faculty:

In our college some faiculties s are chill and some faculties are very rude. I tell you a latest story , in my second sem I have a subject called engineering mechanics his professor was very strict he didn't give marks to students easily in last sem he failed 45 students of civil branch . Our seniors told that he is very dangerous professor. In my second sem I also have a subject called philosophy in that subject professor is rude he gave students only c- grade . It affects overall cpi . Some faculties are nice like our thermo professor. In our college every semester is of 6 months and mid sem exam starts approximately after 1.5 months and end sem after 4 months . If you study for whole sem you have no fear for exam . Some exam are easy some are hard and some subject made only to decrease students cpi.

Genuine Review of IIT BHU

Faculty:

A semester contains mid semester and end semester exams with sufficient preparatory leaves. The difficulty level of answer checking is not much tough , but as your peer group belongs to top 1% of the country makes it hard to get even average score.

IIT BHU review

Faculty:

1:30 i.e Approx 30 students are taught or educated by each professor. Faculty to student ratio is very good and the proffs are quite approachable and very helpful. They are all very passionate and outstanding in their fields. They are working on different projects and also provide students opportunity to assist them. I liked the proff of Electronics dept. whose name was oppili prasad as he taught us relating to the practical life and he taught us as if to educate us not jst like to give lecture and go. I also liked maths proff whose name was vineet and he was great in teaching .i didn't like the proff of mechanical dept whose name was srihari as he jst writes the things on board and tell us to read. There are 2 main exams i.e mid sem and end sem exams. The exams are quite tough and needs consistency and great practice in different problems. Each semester, there are also 1-2 quizzes which constitutes in overall CPI. Many students fail in tough papers like MA101 and ME 102 i.e maths and mechanical subject respectively. Some courses are not quite relevant with current times like in computer science we are taught C language.

College culture at IIT BHU Varanasi

Faculty:

The faculty to student ratio is up to the mark, and the faculty is fairly approachable, being ready to help if one puts the effort to seek help from them. Although, many students prefer to study from some alternate sources as in some cases it becomes difficult to understand what is being taught in the class. The professors of the Maths department seem amazing as they are generally much younger compared to that of other departments. There are two exams in a semester, midsem and endsem. Apart from these there may be quizzes, assignments and lab vivas. The course curriculum is relevant as it involves teaching skills that are required in the respective fields.

There are around 12 faculties with around 10+ phd scholars available for our academics. All the faculties have done PHDs from various parts of the world in various subjects. The syllabus is so easy for a student to deal with it. There are around 6 subjects in each semester attendance needed is 75%.the faculty members are very helpful and they try their best to help us in any way needed. We can also approach the faculties outside the department in case of any doubts. The course structure is taken from the curriculum of other IITs, hence it is relevant.
