IIT BHU and IIT Gandhinagar both are decent IITs. IIT Gandhinagar has a better NIRF ranking as compared to IIT BHU. Although IIT BHU has a lot of Engineering courses to offer, the overall infrastructure and environment are not as conducive as IIT Gandhinagar. Also, the recent year’s cutoffs are comparably higher for IIT Gandhinagar.

Furthermore, IIT Gandhinagar has a unique and distinctive “Foundation Program” which helps students get acquainted with academic life and college environment. Besides, the faculty of IIT GN is also among the best. On the contrary, there is a shortage of faculty members in many branches (including Civil Engineering) at IIT BHU.

The campus location of IIT Gandhinagar is also comparably better as compared to IIT BHU. It is pertinent to note that the campus of IIT BHU is merged with BHU, which makes the campus a crowded place for students. Also, the placement scenario in both the colleges is almost at the same level.

Although IIT BHU being much older than IIT Gandhinagar, offers a huge alumni base. IIT GN might be considered a new IIT by many, but the progress that it has shown is humongous. It also provides a conducive environment for research scholars and has an overhauled infrastructure (including labs). Both colleges have their pros and cons, so it is hard to choose one institute over the other.

IIT-BHU is one of the most reputed colleges in India and is a real IIT. This question might have popped up because IIT BHU got converted from IT BHU to IIT in 2012. But, even before that, it pretty much met the standards of IITs. Students who got admission, even before 2012, had qualified JEE Advanced. Below mentioned points will back up the above statements.

• In almost all old IITs, there is a shortage of faculty. But IIT BHU has well qualified and extremely knowledgeable faculty. 
• IIT-BHU students have proven their mettle in various national and international contests. Students and the faculty have contributed a lot to the development of our nation through sustained research.
• The course framework of IIT BHU is very student-friendly as compared to that of other IITs. Here, students have a plethora of opportunities to hone every skill they like. The courses are designed so that students do not feel pressured by them and get a lot of time to pursue their interests.
• IIT BHU has the best sports facilities one can think of. Name any sport, and you can see students playing that here. IIT BHU fitness-enthusiasts make it very tough for other participants in Inter-IIT sports meet. 
• IIT-BHU has the largest campus among the universities in India. Sometimes miscreants do make trouble, but that’s severely dealt with, and the campus administration consistently strives to make the campus safer.

The points, as mentioned above, very well prove that IIT BHU is very worthy of being an IIT.

Making a choice between two different institutes offering two different courses is always difficult. Both NIT Durgapur and IIT BHU are reputed institutes and offers decent placement, so choose according to the branch you are interested in.

NIT Durgapur is a prestigious institute among the NITs of India. It ranks 47 among the engineering colleges in India according to the NIRF Rankings 2020. The placement statistics of 2019 at this institute revels, the CES department had a placement rate of 88.64%, and 78 students out of 88 got placed. The average CTC offered was around 9.09 LPA.

NIRF ranked IIT BHU at 11 among the engineering colleges. IIT BHU also holds a decent placement record. In 2019 campus placement a total of 49 students got placed from the Ceramic Engineering Department. The average CTC ranged around 10 LPA to 58 LPA. Besides core companies, students can also sit for software companies that come for placement in this institute which is an added advantage.

Being an IIT, IIT BHU offers certain perks but as a course, CSE has better scope than Ceramic Engineering.

IIT BHU is among the top Engineering colleges in India. NIRF 2020 has ranked IIT BHU in the 11th position for BTech. The average placement rate for all branches at the institute is 71%.

Electronics Engineering:

From the Electronics Engineering department at IIT-BHU, almost 95% of the students get placed each year. Placements of Electronics are par with Computer Science Placements.

• The average package for Electronics is around 14 LPA.
• Core companies that offer placement for Electronics students are Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), Electronics Corporation of India Limited (ECIL), Qualcomm, Intel, Sony, LG Electronics, Texas Instruments, Cisco, Philips Semiconductors, Toshiba, etc.

Electrical Engineering:

The Electrical Department has very good placement records over the years. In last year’s placement, around 90% of the students from the department were placed.

• The average package received was around 11-12 LPA.
• Core recruiting companies visiting for recruiting ElectricalPGCIL, IOCL, HPCL, Trident, Reliance, Maruti, etc.

Besides this all the Non-Core Sector Companies in the domain Analytics, Business, Management, Consultancies, etc. offer jobs in both departments but some software companies are open only for Electronics but generally overall companies visiting the campus for Electronics and Electrical Engineering are nearly the same. Hence according to the statistics, the placements of the Electronics Department are better than the Electrical Engineering Department.
