Honest Review of IT-BHU So called IIT-BHU

Likes

The things that i liked the most is its fest, and very good culture of sports.

Dislikes

Open campus this is the only negative point
Security is very poor any one cane enter in your hostel
Bikes were allowed in the campus this is also a most negative point

Course Curriculum Overview:

As we know the placement is very good at IIT BHU that's why I have opted for the course. I think faculty to student ratio is very low at IIT BHU. There are very limited professors in certain courses which require more professors. And some professors asked to teach the subject in which they are not experts. There are very highly qualified professors, from reputed universities like Harvard, Stanford, and MIT, and having good research in their respective fields. All the exams were conducted according to the mentioned time in the academic calendar. You can pass exams if you solve assignments and quizzes.

Review of my college- IIT (BHU) Varanasi

Likes

Placement opportunities and overall exposure
Various clubs and societies and our ability to join them and learn something new
Company of like minded and intelligent people

Dislikes

Somewhat old infrastructure and lack of some facilities like swimming pool
It being an open campus and anyone can enter anytime
Sometimes it being a part of BHU causes political issues and student politics

Student Snaps:

Placement Experience:

Placements are top-notch in our college. Students from the pen-ultimate semester are eligible for campus placements. Our college is known for its placements. Last year's highest international package was 2.05 Cr. Also, a variety of companies visit our campus like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Accenture-Japan, Tata, etc. The average package for overall college is close to 23 LPA and for the Material Science branch, it is around 19.6 LPA. Companies offered various profiles like SDE, Analyst, Consultant, Core, etc. Almost 100 Percent of students get placed. I plan to either go for a Ph.D. in Material Science or an MBA.

A review about my college

Likes

The Campus life (It's full of greenery).
I also liked the infrastructure very much, it still has that ethnic vibes.
Fests are organized on a different level here.

Dislikes

I didn't like the Mess food,the quality decreases day by day.
The class timings are very much hectic,it starts from 8 in the morning and goes till 6:30 in the evening.
The lecture hall should be air conditioned, otherwise it's very hectic for students to do class especially in summer.

Placement Experience:

I think a student starts getting offers after the 6th semester. I think around 300 or more companies visited this year and the highest package was around 1.6 crore and the lowest was around 12 lacs.

IIT BHU: 4 Answered Questions

What are the views of IIT-BHU students about Kashi Utkarsh?

Nivedita TrivediLives in Varanasi

My friend is an alumnus of IIT-BHU and he was a member of the Kashi Utkarsh too. He claims the organization is doing really well in eradicating the prevalent social constraints through the collective efforts of the group. The body convinces the financially weak families living in Varanasi slums to send their children to schools with the help of KU funding.

As easy as this may sound, the actual process is very tiring. The families are hell-bent against education and persuading them is a big task. The relentless efforts of the team members of KU and their compassion to serve the weak have brought massive changes in society.

However, some students of the institute don’t give KU the respect they deserve and are not ready to spend a single penny claiming that KU pockets the funds themselves.

If you visit the social media handles of the KU members, you will find a list of children who get into the formal education system along with their school fees being paid by KU. Dictionary the constant assistance from professors like Prof. Ashim Mukherjee with KU helps KU stay strong.

What are the changes that took place in the college after IT-BHU got converted into IIT BHU?

Nivedita TrivediLives in Varanasi

My friend was a student at IIT BHU and he witnessed a number of changes as the IT BHU got converted into IIT BHU.

The Vishwakarma hostel became a 3 storied building
Kashi yatra, the annual socio-cultural festival of IIT(BHU) Varanasi stayed open till 10.
The grading system first changed to absolute from relative and then finally back to relative grading.
Mid-semester tests were introduced in place of class tests.
One of the sandwich shops became a complete multi-storied restaurant.
The Chemical Engineering department was updated in many ways.
The students were no longer allotted single rooms.
The campus facilities were improved including the Internet connections.
The 90 % attendance rule was introduced.
The institute got 3 new directors.

These were some of the changes my friend witnessed after the IT BHU got transformed into IIT BHU.

What is your review of Indian Institute of Technology Varanasi (IIT BHU)?

Tithi SenguptaB.Tech from Indian Institute of Technology Varanasi (IIT BHU)

My review of IIT BHU will be based on some very common parameters.

Infrastructure: The academic buildings are not air-conditioned and are equipped with obsolete instruments. The hostels are surrounded by natural beauty but the living conditions are pathetic with cramped rooms and dirty toilets. The poor LAN connections are a major major problem here.
Faculty: The faculty again is very disappointing. some even lack basic knowledge and some are too arrogant to guide the students. The answer sheets are checked in a disorganized way and the pedagogy adopted is old school. So here, you will have to completely depend on self-study.
Research: The majority of the faculty focuses on administrative tasks and fails to encourage students to research work. The institute has no globally recognized research work to date.
Facilities: The library has poorly organized books and lacks good study material. The LAN network is another major issue faced by students here. The departments are closed by 6 ok and the library is locked by 10 pm. This is a major hindrance during exams.
Campus life: The frequent student activities make the campus life of IIT BHU lively and dynamic. A number of activities are organized in IIT-Gymkhana by the students and Kashi Yatra is the annual cultural festival of the institute. There are amazing sports facilities like huge grounds and fields for Cricket, Football, Badminton, and Tennis.
Placements: IIT BHU has one of the best placements among the top IITs. Currently, IIT Bhu Placements 2023 is being held and around 474 offers and 305 PPOs have been made. IIT BHU's highest CTC was recorded at INR 1.2 CPA. A total of 117 recruiters took part in IIT BHU Placements 2023. Top recruiters included Airbnb India, Uber, Microsoft, Accenture, Piramal, etc. Last year the highest CTC stood at INR 2.05 CPA which was offered by UBER.

Overall, IIT BHU is a great choice if you are willing to sacrifice the hostel conditions and self-study.
