My brother is pursuing MnC from IIT Kharagpur, so I can give you an idea about the course.

Highlights:

At IIT Kharagpur, you will get a scholarship of 60000 per year for all 5 years irrespective of your caste or income. You can also claim further up to 80000 per year, based on your research and internships during your course.
The placement scenario is also very good at IIT Kharagpur, as many top companies visit the college every year and all are open for MnC people, except a few core companies which are department-specific and only students of those departments can sit for interviews.
In this course, you have to study pure mathematics properly for 4-5 semesters at least, which can be very difficult and painful for most of the students.

If you are considering IIT BHU just because of the placement concern, I will advise you to choose IIT KGP. MnC at IIT KGP is really great and you won’t regret opting for it.
