IIT BHU in 5 mins

Likes

The curriculum is very chill and professor are not very strict on deadline.
Sports have a big role and would not require to master in each but can help you in developing from the basics
Campus is fully open so no restrictions in moving out at times

Dislikes

The campus being open to general public would lead to heavy traffic in college streat.
Hostels are crowded with 2 people in a room suited for one.
Clubs activities are not on a national level so it becoms more of a hobby than a career.

Course Curriculum Overview:

This was the best option I could find. Electronics classifies as a circuital branch. This would open the same opportunities the Computer science students would have. The faculty-student ratio is around 10 professors for a department of 400 students across all year. The teaching method is great with their high expertise in any topic they teach. Exams are timely.

Likes

The campus is very green and open. You will never run out of fresh air and space to workout or play.
Food in mess is pretty good compared to other IITs

Dislikes

The campus premises.
Classrooms do not have Air Coolers

Course Curriculum Overview:

I choose ECE because it is very interesting and gets you good placements. Faculty is very strict about core studies so it is hard to manage side interests. The faculty is well-qualified for teaching and will help you with your curriculum always. Exams are hosted twice every semester and are easy to pass.

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.
