Actually, BHU also provides a regular B.Pharm course and a B.Pharm with a specialization in Ayurveda.

If you are interested in contemporary pharmacy, BHU also has a 4-year regular B.Pharm course in allopathic pharmacology, pharmaceutics, medicinal chemistry, etc. Admission is generally through NEET or other entrance exams.

However, BHU also provides a special B.Pharm (Ayurveda) course that deals with Ayurvedic medicines, herbal preparations, and the principles of traditional pharmacology. The process of admission to this course is carried out through a separate entrance examination.

Briefly speaking, BHU has two courses: one in contemporary pharmacy and the other in Ayurvedic pharmacy. You can choose either one of them based on your interest and background.

Expert Answer

My friend is a recent graduate of Electronics and communication engineering from IIT(BHU) Varanasi. Here are a few highlights pertaining to the course based on his review of the same.

  • Course structure: The curriculum is regularly updated to meet the industry standard and relevancy. The course structure is designed in such a way that most course-related subjects are introduced in the first year itself. Additionally, there are some CSE subjects to expand the job opportunities for the students.
  • Faculty: Sadly, the faculty here is very lacking. Some even lack the most basic knowledge and just teach the students in their bookish language. The pedagogy adopted is old school bringing down the standard of education here. A few teachers recently joined and brought about slight changes in the pedagogy and the citation is expected to get better. 
  • Placements: Based on the data I got from my friend, the BTech ECE average package was INR 27.73 LPA. Usually, IIT BHU ECE average package is in the range of 20-22 LPA. Core companies like Nvidia and Texas Instruments hired many but top companies like Microsoft have no or fewer openings for CSE students. 

IIT BHU is a good college if you are willing to do self-study and not depend on the faculty.
