The PGDM program at BIMTECH is a better option than the MBA program at BHU. Why is this:
All four of BIMTECH's PGDM programs have received AIU approval, making them all MBA-equivalent. In addition, it provides students with a completely residential campus with all the amenities, extensive industry exposure, illustrious instructors, and a strong track record of job placement.
For campus placements, BIMTECH welcomes a variety of prominent national and international businesses. Additionally, the packages are respectable; according to current placement statistics, the highest domestic package was 18 LPA and the highest international package was 23 LPA.
Through a variety of Clubs and Conduits, the institute also supports experiential learning and extracurricular pursuits. Additionally, students experience a wide range of cultures around the world. BIMTECH is a better choice for advancing your management education in light of these aspects. I wish you luck!
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.
Consultancies do recruit from IIT (BHU). However, there are relatively fewer hires for these positions as compared to other sectors. Some of the famous consultancies that hire from this IIT are - Deloitte, McKinsey, B. EXL, ZS Associates, Capgemini. In 2020, only 21 students were recruited for consulting positions, as compared to about 800 recruits overall. The reason behind this is stated below:
As it is an Institute for technology, most students prefer going to more technical areas of work.
After graduating some students prefer to pursue an MBA after a couple of years of work in the field.
Students do not have courses in IIT which solely focussed on leadership skills and/ or business management. Also, there are no courses in economics and finance.
There are usually fewer job opportunities in consulting - even lesser for people coming from purely technical institutions.
Some people go into building start-ups rather than going into entry-level management/ consulting positions, especially since they can develop the technical skill-set in college itself.

All the IITs are of high repute and globally recognized. IIT BHU takes the upper hand when it comes to chemical engineering, which is depicted from their quality research. However, you should choose the institute according to your convenience.
RGIPT, IIT BHU, and IIPE, all three are reputed national-level colleges. Choosing among these three, depends on the course you are interested in. Selecting the right branch is more important than brand recognition of the college. So, don’t choose IIT BHU, only because of the IIT tag. It’s true that the IIT tag offers certain advantages. But for job opportunities, your branch will matter more.
IIT BHU and IIT Tirupati have their strengths and the choice depends upon your preferences.
You can also join IIT BHU Chemical and try for a branch change. You will easily get ECE or EEE with some effort. In case you get stuck with Chemical, do not worry and go for non-core placements which are mostly open for all the branches.
Most placements at IIT BHU are in the non-core profiles.
Here are the course-fees & placement statistics for IIT BHU Chemical and IIT Tirupati Electrical-

You can thus choose between IIT BHU Chemical and IIT Tirupati Electrical based on your personal preference and after thoroughly considering all the pros and cons of your decision.
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).

Both are good IIT’s but IIT BHU being an old institute offers a vast alumni network due to which placements percentage is high. Also being 100 years old institution IIT BHU has well-established labs with good equipment. Whereas, IIT Indore is a new IIT and still developing. According to NIRF Rankings, IIT BHU has a better ranking that Indore: IIT BHU(11), IIT Indore(13).
Mechanical Department is one of the oldest departments of IIT BHU and has many experienced faculties who are experts in their fields. Research culture at IIT BHU is also better than IIT Indore and there is a lab in IIT BHU being sponsored by DRDO for research. The course curriculum for Mechanical is nearly the same at both the colleges. As IIT Indore is recently established (2008) it has modern infrastructure while the infrastructure of IIT BHU is quite old.
Apart from academics, the IIT BHU Gymkhana has lots of clubs and councils like Sports, Science and Tech Council, Film & Media Council, Cultural Societies which boosts personality as well as skills. Also, IIT BHU has 3 fests (Spardha, Technex and Kashiyatra) that witnessed the participation of students from over 1500+ colleges and schools and top motivational speakers and celebrities.
Regarding placements stats of IIT BHU, top companies, and government organizations like DRDO, ISRO, IAF, Maruti, Bajaj, L&T, BHEL, HUL, IOCL, etc. visits campus for recruiting students. In 2019 a total of 109 students got placement from Mechanical Engineering with average salary package ranging between 10 LPA to 58.21 LPA. The average package offered in IIT Indore was around 16 LPA. Placements of IIT BHU has an edge over IIT Indore.
So, overall IIT BHU Mechanical is better than IIT Indore Mechanical.
