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.
