Ancient Dream college

Remarks:

Overall the college is excellent. The food is all very good as compared to other colleges. Infrastructure is not at par with other IITs but it is far more better than ordinary colleges of India as it is an institute of national importance.

Remarks:

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.

An Institute with 100 years of legacy

Remarks:

The institute is 100 years old so obviously infrastructure falls short at some places and also administration is old. But that aside IIT has a great environment with the top students of India joining every year

College review - [IIT BHU], Varanasi

Remarks:

Life at an IIT is really awesome it gives you all opportunities to grow up your interest in any field. Doors to all are open and our college helps us a lot in this we have a strong training and placement cell which arranges all companies to visit our college. A negative remark is that our campus is open to all so you may notice a cow walking as your partner inroads.

Remarks:

Here at IIT BHU it was my crash landing, I was expecting much more marks but I got less as it was expected. As I always wanted to study physics and at my rank I was not able to get ENGINEERING PHYSICS course at other top IITs so I have to choose this. But now I think it was one my best decision

Placement Experience:

The placements and job opportunities are excellent at IIT(BHU) because of the 100-year old alumni network. A lot of companies visit the campus during the placement season and almost 80% of the people who sit in the interviews, are selected. Talking about the CSE department, there's a 100% placement in every session.

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?

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.
