Anonymous's Review On IIT BHU - Indian Institute Of Technology, Varanasi

Varanasi is a good place to be in.While other iits are almost cutoff from the main cities IIT BHU sits right at the centre of varanasi. The culture of IIT BHU is quite good and the alumni network is also a humungous one. I was getting civil engg. in this college and that is what i wanted so IIT BHU it was.

IIT BHU follows the same course structure as that of IIT Kanpur. The open electives provided by the institute for every semester was fun to learn and different from the regular course which i have opted, so that i get to know some other departments as well. Faculties are quite interactive and well qualified. Almost all the teachers have a Masters degree from either the IITs or from foreign universities. Architecture department is our new addition this year. K.K. Pathak of civil engg. Department is a good, helping and insightful professor. Industrial exposure is also quite good. Our department was taken to the airport and we studied about various components and equipments.( As a civilian you wont be allowed to visit the areas which we visited)

Companies such as phonepe, paytm, jio, adobe, google, microsoft, nvidia, goldman sachs, cohesity, zs associates , fidelity, novartis, sail, iocl were some the companies which visited our campus. Amongst them cohesity offered the highest package of 60 lakhs in india. The highest abroad package was given by microsoft redmond which translates to around 1 crore INR. Profile offered were developer, product managers, managers, quality assurance managers, analyst, lecturers etc. The percentage of students placed were close to 77 percent.

Technical fest here is named Technex which has sponsorship from tech giants such as Samsung, Nvidia etc. Students from all over india participate in this 3 day techfest. First two days are reserved exclusively for events and presentations while the third day brings us the most awaited edm night or musical night. (Zubin nautiyal came and performed this year). Coming to the cultural fest, we have Kashiyatra with a footfall of more than 80000 participants. Every year the theme is different for this fest which brings such madness that every student wants to be a part of this fest.
