Analysis by branch of official IIT BHU placement data shows that three branches – BTech in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Electronics Engineering – commanded the highest placement rates as well as the highest average annual salaries. However, some departments struggled to keep their placement rates over 50 percent.

    The COVID-19 pandemic hit India in early 2020, and nearly all engineering colleges showed a downward trend in their placement rates. Indian Institute of Technology - Banaras Hindu University (IIT-BHU) Varanasi, in Uttar Pradesh, displayed the same trend in its placement rate but the average salary commanded by its students in campus job drives rose. In fact, it has been rising for some years.

    Careers360 gathered the placement data of IIT BHU through a Right to Information application and found that the institute saw a nearly seven percentage point drop in the overall placement rate in 2020-21.
