Which is better in terms of placements and all: IIT Roorkee chemical or IIT BHU chemical? Which has more liberal branch change rules: IIT Roorkee or IIT BHU?

There are mixed reviews about the placements of the chemical department of IIT BHU and IIT

Roorkee. Students of IIT BHU thinks they have good placements than IIT-R and vice-versa. A

senior professor of Chemical Department T IIT Roorkee, who is an alumnus of IIT BHU, visited the campus of IIT BHU last year. According to him, students at both of the institutes believe that grass is greener on the other side. The fact is placements in both the departments are almost equal.

Following are some of the examples for the same:

1. ITC, which offers 18L CTC, visited IIT-R and not IIT BHU, while HUL (Hindustan Unilever Limited), offering 22L CTC, visited IIT BHU, but not IIT Roorkee.

2. Core companies for Chemical Engineering like Aditya Birla, Reliance visits both the campus.

Now coming to branch change, in IIT BHU, a maximum of 10 percent of students can move from one branch to another, while in IIT Roorkee, it’s only 2 percentage. So, in the case of branch change, IIT BHU is more liberal for change in the branch, i.e. if there are 120 students at IIT BHU chemical department, 12 students can move for branch change while in case of IIT-R in the strength of 120, approximately 3 students would be able to do the branch change.
