There are not many discriminations in the facility between BHU and IIT BHU students as such. However, there might be a few things that would become observable in the coming years. That would be the infrastructural progress of the IIT’s campus, and that’ll purely be because the Govt. issues a separate fund to all the IITs and the University doesn’t come under that clause. Also, being an IIT, it has to show significant improvements facility-wise in order to remain an institute of that stature. For example, the indoor sports complex of the IIT campus will be a world-class facility for the sport-enthusiasts. Also, there are a couple of hostels under construction, and they’ll be facilitated with the latest technology, and that won’t be the case for any other hostel on the University campus.

IIT BHU is the oldest institute in India to introduce Metallurgical Engineering. All the top metallurgy departments across India have a connection with IIT BHU. The main focus of the IIT BHU Metallurgical Department is on Alloy Development and Extractive Metallurgy. All the research equipment are well maintained and up to date.

The faculty members always solve the doubts of students regardless of their areas of interest. Many professors here are famous in their respective areas of research and teaching. Their research papers have been published in various journals across the world. Since the department is very old, it has a vast network of alumni. The young researchers can always seek guidance from them. After the conversion of IT BHU to IIT BHU, students get a lot of opportunities to attend conferences, guest lectures, and seminars to stay updated.

If you want to do research in polymers or ceramics, then it is better to join some other department or institute. But if you want to research on Alloy Development and Extractive Metallurgy, then you can go for IIT BHU. The research culture here is quite active and one can get a good research environment and supportive colleagues here.

In IIT BHU, students are expected to attend all the classes for their respective courses. However, if for some reason students fail to attend all classes, they need to maintain a minimum of 85% attendance. The 85% attendance rule is applicable for theory classes, however, for laboratory classes students are expected to maintain 100% attendance. If any students miss lab class for some emergency they can contact the teacher concerned to make up for it. Students are allowed leave for medical emergencies provided they submit proper documentation. Many professors follow the attendance rule strictly while others may not. To be safe students should maintain a minimum of 85% attendance as the institute takes disciplinary measures for students who fail to do so.

The placement data and statistics are not released in public, but few details get somehow leaked by the students in the placement cell.

Yes, you can compare the two colleges. IIT BHU and BITS Pilani are among the reputed engineering colleges in India. The two colleges can be compared based on various aspects. In the context of campus life, BHU has a slight advantage over BITS Pilani. There are a plethora of clubs in which you can participate actively. BHU is also located in the “city of temples” Varanasi and is thus well connected with city life. The only disadvantage is that IIT BHU shares the same campus with BHU which makes it crowded and raises safety issues as entry to the campus is not restricted. However, based on the placement package, BITS Pilani scores better than IIT BHU. BITS Pilani provides a better platform for jobs in reputed foreign companies. The hostel facilities and overall infrastructure of BITS Pilani are also superior to IIT BHU. Both colleges conduct several fests. While BITS Pilani conducts BOSM, OASIS, APOGEE, IIT BHU conducts SPARDHA, KASHI YATRA, and TECHNEX. It is imperative to note that Oasis is the second biggest fest across the country. But the major difference between the two colleges is the institute fee which is very high in BITS Pilani as it is a private college. So, if considering placements and institute facilities, BITS Pilani is better than IIT BHU. On the contrary, from the context of the annual fee clubbed with the “IIT” tag, IIT BHU is better. It is also important to note that the number of branches offered in IIT BHU is greater in number than the courses offered at BITS Pilani.
