At IIT BHU, research culture isn’t that active. Research culture mostly depends on students and peer groups. Most students on campus are usually focused on placements. In a batch, you will find only a handful of people who are interested in research and are actively pursuing it.
However, if you have a particular interest and you want to do projects in that subject, you will get help and guidance from the professors.
Almost all the IITs of India provide decent research and development opportunities. IIT(BHU) is also no exception. With around ten branches offering different degrees in IIT BHU, there is a good research environment.
Starting from the beginning there are exploratory projects, undergraduate projects, stream projects, etc which offer new opportunities for learning. Beside it, you can always talk to any professors about your possible work plans and they would guide you. There is a recent development of establishing a Centre Instrument Facility which provides futuristic research infrastructure (visit Research and Development section of IIT BHU website for more). There is a Design & Innovation centre and Design & Innovation hub which also provide platforms for research enthusiasts.
Each year many students come to pursue their MTech and PhD degrees from this institute because of the research infrastructure this IIT offers. If you have a clear idea of a specific research topic that you want to pursue and have a passion for it, IIT(BHU) welcomes you.
