Question

So, you're wondering about placements and branch change rules between IIT Roorkee and IIT BHU for Chemical Engineering. Here's the scoop:

Placements: Honestly, it's a bit of a toss-up. Students from both IIT BHU and IIT Roorkee tend to think the other has better opportunities. A prof who's an alumnus of IIT BHU and teaches at IIT Roorkee mentioned that both sides feel the grass is greener elsewhere. The reality? Placements are pretty comparable.
- For example, ITC (18L CTC) might visit IIT Roorkee, while HUL (22L CTC) goes to IIT BHU.
- Core chemical companies like Aditya Birla and Reliance recruit from both campuses.
Branch Change: IIT BHU is definitely more lenient. They allow up to 10% of students to switch branches. IIT Roorkee, on the other hand, only allows about 2%. So, if you're aiming for a branch change, IIT BHU gives you a better shot.
- For instance, in a class of 120 students, IIT BHU might allow 12 branch changes, while IIT Roorkee would only allow around 3.
