Actually DC++ is present in IIT BHU for quite some time. Since torrent is blocked in IIT’s WIFI, students are heavily dependent on DC++ on most IITs. Older IITs have the fastest DC++ hubs like Kharagpur, Bombay, Roorkee. This is where they share movies, games, tutorials, software, and many more. You can visit the IIT BHU DC’s Facebook page and check out if there are still any working hubs. Their FB has more than a thousand followers and you will get all the information there like how to join, hub info, etc. You can also find a website on IIT BHU dc++. You can find the link on their Facebook page itself. Go there and join their group. Better ask any one of the followers of the group as they can give you the specific information.
There are fewer placement opportunities available for IIT BHU MTech branches compared to BTech branches. Most MTech students apply for jobs through off campus placements. You can get placed in the IT sector if you have good coding skills. Companies recruiting core branch students are fewer in number. As per IIT BHU placement highlights the average CTC for most MTech branches is around INR 6-8 LPA.
IIT BHU is counted among the top engineering institutes in the country. For B.Tech, IIT BHU ranking in India is 14 by NIRF 21. The ranking declined in 2021, compared to last year. In 2020, NIRF ranked the institute 11th among the top engineering colleges. The Week 2021 ranked IIT BHU 8th for overall.
First, you should decide which branch you want to pursue ECE or Electrical, as that would help you choose the institute. The electrical engineering branch mainly focuses on the power systems and machines while Electronics is mainly focussed on hardware and working of electronic devices.
Now coming to options you have, for electrical IIT Roorkee and IIT BHU have similar course content. But IIT Roorkee has a slight edge over IIT BHU as more companies visit the campus compared to IIT BHU. A total of 254 companies participated in the placement drive for 2019-20 at IIT Roorkee. The average CTC offered was around 14.7 LPA. Whereas, the placement highlights for 2019 at the IIT BHU show, a total of 52 companies visited the campus and the average salary was around 8.19 LPA. A total of 88 students from Electrical Engineering got placed this year.
IIT Guwahati offers a good ECE program. In 2019, the ECE department had 84% placement and the average CTC offered was around 11 LPA. A total of 88 students got placement from IIT BHU last year. If you want to have the option for software placement, then IIT BHU will be the better option. Software placements of IIT BHU are better than IIT G. Also, IIT BHU offers a better coding culture.
Tata, Maruti Suzuki, Toshiba, L&T, BPCL, Reliance, Larsen & Turbo, Havells, Otis, Eaton, etc. are some of the major recruiters that visit IIT BHU placements to recruit Mechanical Engineering students. Other than these, there are many non-core companies that visit the placements, as well. Here are the placement highlights for the Mechanical branch.
Placement rate | 75-80% |
Average CTC | INR 12 LPA |
Highest CTC | INR 35 LPA. |
Mechanical Engineering students usually get placed in job roles such as Automotive Engineer, Powertrain Engineer, Senior Design Engineer, etc.
Yes, IIT BHU offers a branch change option. 10% of seats are reserved for branch change. You can change your branch after your first semester. The shortlist for branch change is made based on CPI (Cumulative Performance Index) and PI.
You can only change your branch from a 4-year program to another 4-year program or from a 5-year program to another 5-year program. Changing branch from a 4-year program to a 5-year program isn’t allowed. Also, it’s easier to change branches for 5-year courses. Changing branches for 4-year programs can be difficult as the competition is high.
The placement scenario for Chemical Engineering students at IIT BHU is good. Although very few core companies from the field visit the campus placements. In the recent placement drive, the average CTC offered to the Chemical Engineering students was in the range of 15-17 LPA. Last year, the highest CTC offered to the branch was 38 LPA.
Around 60% of all none core companies visiting the campus placement are open for Chemical Engineering students. You also have the option to take GATE and opt for PSU jobs.
Instead of recommending any specific institute, there are some myths that need to be debunked first:
You must compare the two courses based on the following features:
If you're specifically interested in CSE, then the first four points are almost equal for both BHU and Guwahati. When it comes to the other points, IITG has a better climate, while Varanasi may be better connected and nearer to your hometown.
So, it's up to you to weigh the pros and cons and decide which institute suits you better. Remember to make an informed decision and choose wisely.
If you are looking for placement in the non-core sector then it is very good, it is one of the branches with most placement in IIT BHU. Otherwise, if you want to work in core companies you have to take the GATE exam as there are not many core companies offering placement to Chemical Engineering students in IIT BHU. This year 104 students got placed in chemical engineering, mainly in software companies. You can also bag PPO if you do well in your internships.
Some of the companies that came for placements are CSRL, Nucleus Software, PDPU, Fidelity, Nineleaps, Sokrati (business analyst profile), FIITJEE, ET MEDIALABS, TechnipFMC, Onix Capital, CGI, EMERGY Enviro Pvt. Ltd, Tavant Technologies, Info Objects, Mirum, Praktice.ai, Biorasi LLC, Ambuja Cement, HPCL, GAIL, Air Liquide (only for chemical as trainee engineer), Prism Johnson Limited (only chemical and mining were allowed). These companies offered an average package of around 8 lakhs whereas, the highest package was Rs. 1.53 Crore.
There have been changes which happened lately for which IIT BHU is better than IT-BHU.
IIT BHU comes with a tag of IIT which offers a lot of advantages to the students. There is no interference of BHU, thus IIT BHU works independently. There is a tremendous help from the government in terms of funding. The campus placements have improved and so have the curriculum. Now since it has become an IIT, it has numerous opportunities for growth and development. The infrastructure of the institute is improving and now the college has a lot of student exchange programs which results in better exposure. IIT BHU admits some of the brightest students who work very hard through IIT JEE. This creates a competitive and better academic environment.
Hence we can say that IIT BHU is better than IT BHU.
