There are not many discriminations in the facility between BHU and IIT BHU students as such. However, there might be a few things that would become observable in the coming years. That would be the infrastructural progress of the IIT’s campus, and that’ll purely be because the Govt. issues a separate fund to all the IITs and the University doesn’t come under that clause. Also, being an IIT, it has to show significant improvements facility-wise in order to remain an institute of that stature. For example, the indoor sports complex of the IIT campus will be a world-class facility for the sport-enthusiasts. Also, there are a couple of hostels under construction, and they’ll be facilitated with the latest technology, and that won’t be the case for any other hostel on the University campus.
Yes, you can change your branch after completing 1st year. You will be asked to fill in your preferences. But you should note that changing branches can be difficult. The cutoff required for branch change is pretty high. For branches like CSE, you will need a CGPA of around 9.75. For EE, the required CGPA is around 9.3-9.4. Other than cutoff it depends on the number of vacant seats in the branch you are applying for.
The average package depends upon the branch in which you are studying, and it’s generally more for CSE (Computer Science), MnC (Mathematics and Computing), ECE (Electronics) and EEE (Electrical). This is due to the reason many of the students go for software profile jobs and are being paid high from this branch. This doesn’t mean that other branch students don’t get good placements, many students of other branches are very well placed and as similar as these above branches. The trend of placement in IIT BHU shows students who go for software profile jobs (it doesn’t depend on your branch, almost all students do coding) get good packages.
Now coming to placement statistics, in December 2019, 4 students had got international offers and remaining also got very good placements. Out of 1063 students registered for the placements, 762 got very good placements in the first phase. Also, 172 students had got PPO (Pre-Placement Offer).
