You can decide if IIT BHU is really the worst IIT after going through my answer. I have tried my best to state all fair points and stay unbiased as much as possible.
IIT BHU is great in all aspects and its alumni are successfully working in big companies. This alone is enough to negate the point that IIT BHU is the worst IIT.
System Engineering at IIT BHU offers good placement opportunities.
As a student of this course, you’ll get a chance to sit for the placement process of various companies including Microsoft, Google, Apple, Oracle, Sap labs, Qualcomm, Intel, Eaton, Kla Tencor , TCS, Cognizant, Bosch, GE, Mercedes Benz, Mathworks, Tata motors, Texas Instruments, Cisco, Honeywell, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Relaxo, Kotak Mahindra Bank, etc.
Some universities and coaching institutes also come with lectureship positions. You’ll get the freedom to apply for a maximum of 60 companies.
With good academic performance and an interesting project in your name, you can expect to be placed at a top firm with a good package.
Placements in IIT BHU are excellent. The basic salary range for the academic years 2020-21 and 2019-20 were INR 11.50-64.26 LPA, and INR 10-58.21 LPA, respectively.
The first phase of the 2022 placement drive has been already completed. Students received a total of 1185 placement offers. 35 students got international placements. UBER offered the highest CTC of 2.05 CPA. While UiPath offered the highest domestic CTC of INR 78 LPA to 2 students.
No, I don't agree with you. My friend was a student at IIT BHU and still reminisces about her time spent in Varanasi. Although she is staying in New Delhi currently a part of Varanasi still stays with her she misses the pollution-free air of Varanasi and the scenic moments she spent by the river.
Her current life in Delhi is very urban and fast-paced and she misses the tranquility of Varanasi. So it is untrue that you will feel bad about staying in an old city with no good places to hang out. Every city offers a unique experience and so does IIT BHU. You need to come prepared for all this.

My brother attended IIT BHU. According to him, the most famous successful alumni of IIT BHU is P.M. Ajayan who pursued B.Tech in Metallurgical Engineering in the year 1985.

IIT BHU is located within the Banaras Hindu University campus and is an excellent place for academics that has a very good placement record. Here are some facts related to IIT BHU:
To conclude, IIT BHU is a very old and well-established institution that offers very good placement opportunities and has a good academic curriculum (excellent as per some, decent as per others). However, the infrastructure is very old and needs significant improvement.
Calling IIT BHU, one of the oldest IITs, worst is outright defamation and its alumni won’t tolerate it. I suggest you research its Campus life and facilities, quality of education, hostel facilities, placements, and research culture. Only after proper research will you realize that the claim you made is false and the word worst does not sit with the legacy IIT BHU has. In fact, it has worked hard to earn the reputation and the IIT tag it has today.
Even after considering the above points will you say that IIT BHU is the worst IIT?
