Indian Institute of Technology, BHU, Varanasi M.Sc. Admission: Fees, Cutoff, Placement, Ranking

Admission to undergraduate programs such as B.Tech and Integrated Dual Degree (B.Tech + M.Tech) at IIT BHU is through the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Advanced, and not via JEE Mains. Candidates must qualify JEE Mains to be eligible for JEE Advanced, and then secure the requisite rank in JEE Advanced to be considered for admission to IIT BHU’s undergraduate courses, as per official institute guidelines for 2024–2025 admissions.

The official website of IIT BHU does not provide a comparison or ranking between IIT Bombay and IIT BHU. Each IIT is an autonomous institute of national importance and follows its own academic, research, and placement practices. No direct comparison or institutional preference is officially stated by IIT BHU.

Undergraduate engineering admissions at IIT BHU, which is part of the Indian Institutes of Technology system, are offered through JEE Advanced for programs like B.Tech and Integrated Dual Degree. Banaras Hindu University (BHU), which is a different institution, conducts its own separate undergraduate entrance tests for non-IIT programs. IIT BHU does not admit students to its engineering programs based on JEE Mains scores; only JEE Advanced ranks are considered.

For admission to M.Tech. programs at IIT BHU in 2025, the minimum GATE cutoff scores are program and category-specific, and none of the qualifying scores for general or reserved categories is as low as 40. The official list for M.Tech. admissions through GATE COAP 2025 shows minimum cut-offs significantly above this level. For example, the lowest cutoff among listed programs for the general category is well above 200, thus a score of 40 is not sufficient for admission to any M.Tech. program at IIT BHU in 2025.

The official cut-off scores for various postgraduate programs (such as M.Tech.) for the academic session 2025–26 have been published, with detailed discipline-wise cutoffs available on the IIT BHU website. For undergraduate programs, cut-off ranks drawn from JEE Advanced are used and may be available during the admission process window on the official portal.

IIT BHU offers a wide range of engineering branches including Computer Science, Electrical, Electronics, Mechanical, Civil, Chemical, Metallurgical, Mining, Ceramic, and Pharmaceutical Engineering. The official website does not declare any single branch as the "best," as branch selection is a matter of candidate preference, aptitude, and career goals. The decision of which branch is most suitable depends on individual interests and eligibility.

For the B.Tech program, there are 1,130 seats available as per the academic overview provided by IIT BHU for the most recent year (2024–25).

The last rank for admission to IIT BHU’s undergraduate programs is not published as a fixed figure on the official website; it varies each year based on JEE Advanced results and category-wise seat allocation. The seat allotment for each branch and category is finalized during the admission process and is officially made available on the JoSAA portal rather than IIT BHU’s own site.

IIT BHU is renowned for its century-old legacy in engineering and technology education, world-class research facilities, strong academic curriculum across a broad range of engineering and sciences, vibrant student culture, and active engagement with industry through placements and internships. The institute is also noted for its contributions to technological innovation, interdisciplinary research, and its alumni network of distinguished professionals.

Yes, IIT (BHU) Varanasi was ranked 10th in the Engineering category and 30th Overall in the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) rankings for the year 2024, as officially declared by the institute.

IIT BHU does not offer admission to its undergraduate engineering programs based on JEE Mains scores. Only eligible candidates who have qualified and secured a competitive rank in JEE Advanced are considered for admission to B.Tech and Integrated Dual Degree courses at IIT BHU.

The official IIT BHU and IIT system does not use a direct “marks-based” admission criterion for undergraduate or postgraduate programs. Admission is solely based on the All India Rank in JEE Advanced for undergraduate courses, and the GATE score for postgraduate admissions. There is no mention of a selection based on a specific marks threshold such as 400, and the minimum qualifying requirements are rank and cutoff-based only.

IIT BHU offers programs in various engineering disciplines, but, according to the official list of academic programs, a Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch) is not listed among the available undergraduate degrees at IIT BHU.

IIT BHU admits students into its B.Tech and Integrated Dual Degree programs based on their rank in JEE Advanced. The specific closing ranks vary each year depending on branch, category, and number of seats, and are published officially during the admission cycle; there is no fixed minimum rank universally applicable across all years or branches.

The official Training & Placement Office at IIT BHU states that campus placements are conducted for graduating students, and nearly 200 companies participate each year, but as of now, there is no published data for the 2024–25 salary statistics on the official website. For up-to-date median or average salary information, refer to the official placement brochure or verified reports when they are released.
