Yes, there is a Freshers party in IIT BHU, sophomores organize the party before the end of even semester. Which marks the end of the first years' freshers tag. The party offers a conducive environment for interaction between the students of both years. It also helps to develop a strong bond between them, which is crucial for the first years, as they rely on their seniors for guidance related to coursework and career choices. Although a lot of branches have discontinued this practice, it still is a popular way of interaction. The party-spot is usually a hotel with a swimming pool. This also gives an alternate name to this party- 'Pool Party.' Plenty of drinks and food options are available. The party usually lasts for 6-7 hours at a stretch. The time spent here is memorable and becomes a cherished memory of college life. The seniors don't practice ragging while at the party in any form. The freshers may be asked to give a formal introduction, but other than that, there is no record of ragging. All in all, it makes the party jovial and joyous for the freshers and is worth attending.
