Lives in Roorkee, Uttarakhand, India

Comparing the different IITs and their branches is a complex task, as there are various factors to consider.

Firstly, in terms of college life, both IIT BHU and IIT Mandi have their unique characteristics. IIT BHU has a rich history, with a large and diverse student population, while IIT Mandi is known for its serene location and a close-knit community of students. The campus life of both these institutes is quite active, with various clubs and societies organizing events and activities throughout the year. However, the experience of college life is subjective, and it ultimately depends on an individual's preferences.

Regarding placements, both mechanical and electrical engineering are considered core branches, and hence, have good placement opportunities in their respective fields. IIT BHU has a well-established reputation in the field of mechanical engineering, with several companies recruiting students for internships and full-time roles. Similarly, IIT Mandi has seen significant growth in its electrical engineering department, with several reputed companies such as Microsoft, Amazon, and Texas Instruments recruiting students.

IIT Roorkee is another top-ranked institute, known for its excellent civil engineering department. Civil engineering is also a core branch and has decent placement opportunities in the industry. However, compared to mechanical and electrical engineering, civil engineering is considered to have relatively fewer job opportunities in the private sector. Nonetheless, IIT Roorkee has a good track record of placing students in reputed government organizations such as CPWD, NBCC, and DMRC.

Both IIT BHU Mechanical and IIT Mandi Electrical have excellent placement opportunities and active campus life. However, choosing between the two ultimately depends on an individual's interest and preference. Similarly, while IIT Roorkee Civil has good placement opportunities in the government sector, it may not have as many options in the private sector compared to the other two branches.

TG
Tejaswani Guha Posted On : June 16th, 2022
B.Sc from Banaras Hindu University

Although BHU and IIT BHU share the same campus, these are not the same. BHU is a central university that consists of many faculties and departments. IIT BHU used to be a part of BHU until it become an IIT. Now, it is an autonomous institute and works independently according to the IIT rules and regulations. BHU authority doesn’t have any authority over the management and decision of IIT BHU. 

But these two institutes share some common campus facilities such as auditorium, badminton-squash court, swimming pool, etc.
