The answer to this question depends on what you aim for after 4 or 5 years of your college degree. If you just want a placement and not particularly interested in a branch then you could go for any of those two branches as placement statistics are good for both in IIT BHU. There are enough opportunities in the non-core sector which generally comprise IT, developer, analytics, product management, business analyst, etc. These sectors don't look for a specific branch and rather require good communication and analytical skills. 

Coming to the core sectors, both civil and chemical provide diverse opportunities in these areas. If you are someone who finds chemical processing and chemistry interesting, then go for chemical engineering. If you are the one who gets amazed by the interesting and defying structures, civil engineering should be your choice. According to 2019 placement statistics, 77 students from Civil Engineering and 104 students from Chemical Engineering got placed from IIT BHU.

Opting for civil engineering would open doors to exams such as IES, UPSC, GATE, and other state engineering exams. There are ample opportunities for civil engineering majors. And if you choose chemical engineering, you can go for higher studies or work for PSUs. So, both these branches at IIT BHU would provide enough opportunities to grow and explore and the end decision should be based on your interest.

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.

Yes, there are summer internship programs available for Mechanical Engineering at IIT BHU. Usually, the summer internship portal of IIT BHU opens in the 3rd Week of March till the 1st of April. Students can apply through this portal: https://internship.iitbhu.ac.in/. Since this year, due to Global Corona Virus Outbreak, the institution has decided not to offer Summer Internships due to Safety concerns.

Candidates have to fill their interests and choose professors under which they want to work and propose which topics will they be working upon. In the end, upload their CV.

Yes! It’s worth joining TIME Varanasi as an IIT(BHU) student. It will keep you in the zone of preparation for CAT or other competitive exams, which is highly tricky by just staying on the campus and preparing on your own. Of course, if you are motivated enough, you can self prepare by buying all the mock tests and study materials online. But there are other reasons too for which you need to go and join the institute. Being on the campus, you won’t have a lot of resources and practical training as far as developing your personality, communication skills, and aptitude is concerned. This institute will help you by putting an overall impact on your vocabulary as well as the things mentioned above.If you visit the institute, do not forget to meet the director of TIME Varanasi. He has helped a lot of students from IIT and guided them honestly.

IIT BHU and IIT Bhubaneswar both are good choices to pursue Metallurgical Engineering from.

IIT BHU is an old IIT with a good reputation. According to the National Institutional Ranking Framework 2019, IIT BHU ranks at 14. This IIT holds a good placement record for all the branches of engineering. The placement statistics of 2019, 72% of the students from Metallurgical Engineering got a placement offer.

IIT BHU and IIT Bhubaneswar both are perfectly good options for Metallurgical Engineering. Also, both of these IITs offer decent placement opportunities. So, the choice is up to you.

If you are working in Google or Microsoft or any top tier companies or any company, as a matter of fact, you can conduct coding contests, you can invite the top three performers for internships or motivate them in some way. You can also conduct workshops and help students prepare for placements.

If you doing your Ph.D. in some foreign university, you can guide the students about how to go about research and the trend that is going on in the research field, so that the interested students can focus on the things necessary to achieve the same. You can also help in collaborating with your university with IIT BHU.

Other than that you can always contribute to alumni funds and help in placements and internships. You can also donate books to the library. If you are successful in your field you can hold webinars or seminars and motivate the students. If you have your own startup you can recruit students for your company rather than going for other IITs. This would also increase the placement percentage of the institute. You can also provide internships. You can support talented students belonging to poor families in any way that might help them.

Both IITs are good colleges with their own merits.
