Dear Student,

I've read most of the answers to this question and feel they have made it quite clear that IIT-BHU is at par with old IIT's . I'll like to mention those points which i think are mostly ignored and go unnoticed. I'll try to take a fair stand.

• Faculty - an extremely criticised aspect of all IIT's . Overall in IIT's there is a shortage of 34% percent faculty members .This shows all IITs are dealing with the problem of faculty shortage, and at the same time , IIT-BHU has sufficient highly qualified faculty members .Now, where quality of teaching is concerned , it has highly experienced teachers . New recruitments are made by procedure similar to other IITs , so same level of teaching skill is distributed amoung IITs .
• Here , in IIT BHU , no faculty members are involved in the club activities . This can be taken positively as 3rd and 2nd year student manage all the work of the club , whichc give them a complete exposure of management ( including marketting and publicity ) , which gives one an experience of holding a serious position of responsibilty.
• One thing which i feel is helpful to the students studying here , that the course structure is not too harsh and tiring for students, so they can devote their time in learning things which they feel interesting and worth learning , rather than just gaining theoritical knowledge of things in which they have no particular inclination . They have full opportunity to enjoy their college-life to the fullest, without any burden of studies.In some of the old IITs , course structure is quite hard and rigid, which do not give enough flexibility to students to choose their career line , after making “ an unexperienced decision “ while entering the college . Thus , IIT BHU have +ve 's which are unique  and noteworthy .
• Now coming to other facilities, surely there is a lack of luxuries which other old IITs have ( no defending on that part  ) , but constant improvement in administration is seen in last 3–4 years .
• This point needs complete optimistic approach to be understood well  . One feels its college as his home , and his confidence level within is always high . HUGE campus of BHU provide its student with greater region where they feel safe and confident .Not only this , but outstanding sports facility of BHU has helped IITBHU in becoming one of the tough competitors in INTER-IITs . Almost all sports are played and coached . Mention the game and its there.
• Some miscreants have earlier tried to create some sort of nuisance, but it was delt strictly , and increased security nowadays , have secured IITBHU, better than ever before .IIT-BHU have proven its metal on every grounds , let it be placements , or other cultural activities . It has been successful in making its student multi-tasking and confident .

So before pointing fingures on such renouned institution , think twice or even DON'T , it'll cause pain in your toes . Hope I have made my self clear.

Best Wishes!
