Which is better: IIT Guwahati CSE or IIT BHU CSE?
Instead of recommending any specific institute, there are some myths that need to be debunked first:
- Placements at one institute are better than the other.
- BHU has a wider network.
- IITG has a cooler administration.
You must compare the two courses based on the following features:
- Academic research
- Placement statistics
- Competitive coding
- Open-source development
- Other club activities
- Climate and geography
- Connectivity (and distance from hometown)
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.

Was IT-BHU better than IIT(BHU)?
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.
Which is the best Branch in IIT Guwahati, IIT BHU and IIT Roorkee?
The best branch in IIT Guwahati, IIT BHU and IIT Roorkee is CSE. Other than CSE, IIT Roorkee is widely reputed for its Civil Engineering branch. IIT Roorkee Civil Engineering placements are pretty good. The placement average for the branch is around 100%. The average CTC offered to the students is INR 10-14 LPA.
IIT Guwahati offers a decent Mathematics and Computing program. Each year, more than 99% of the students get placed from this branch. IIT Guwahati Mathematics and Computing average package is INR 19.8 LPA.
Which college is better, IIT BHU or IIT Gandhinagar?
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.
What power does the vice-chancellor of BHU have over IIT BHU ?
Currently, the Vice-Chancellor of BHU has no power over IIT BHU as both are independent institutes. Although, they are united together under the name of Banaras Hindu University. The two institutes take their decisions independently. The Vice-Chancellor of BHU has no say over IIT BHU. But there was a small twist in all this. A few years back the Vice-Chancellor of BHU was also the Chairman of the Board of Governors of IIT BHU. Chairman of the Board of Governors is the most powerful person in IIT BHU. No decision can be taken without the permission of the Chairman. Since the same person was working at both these positions, the Vice-Chancellor of BHU was the most powerful person in IIT BHU but it’s not because he was the Vice-Chancellor of BHU, but because he was also the Chairman of Board of Governors of IIT BHU. But now things have changed as different persons are working in these positions. Mr. Rakesh Bhatnagar is currently the Vice-Chancellor of BHU and Prof. P. K. Jain is the Chairman of the Board of Governors of IIT BHU. Mr. Rakesh Bhatnagar does not have any power over IIT BHU.
Which is better CSE in thapar or ceramic in IIT BHU ?
Ceramic Engineering and CSE are two completely different fields of study. CSE offers better placement and packages as compared to Ceramic and though both these institutes are well-reputed the IIT tag offers certain advantages. So it’s quite difficult to choose an institute over the other.
In terms of internships, since Thapar is a private college, they have their own standards regarding schedules. In the internship session of 2019, almost 1200 students got placed. The internship session of IIT BHU includes many big names such as Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, Morgan Stanley, etc.
In terms of placements, IIT BHU has performed very well. In 2019, the highest package offered was 1.03 Crore per year in domestic and four students received international offers of 1.53 Crore. Whereas, Thapar received the highest package of 39 LPA, which is quite low but the average packages of both colleges are almost similar. IIT BHU placement statistics show that 171 students chose core companies.
Thapar has better hostel and mess facilities whereas IIT BHU’s campus is spread over 400 acres, which is 150 acres more than Thapar’s. In terms of connectivity, IIT BHU has better connectivity and therefore can be assumed to have more exposure. Both colleges are good and have their own advantages. So pick the branch of your choice.
