The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) BHU, Varanasi, has started one of its biggest placement drives ever for the 2025–26 season. A total of 1,701 students will take part, including 1,100 BTech, 550 MTech and IDD, and 40 PhD students. The placement process began on December 1, 2025, and the first phase will continue until December 10.
This year’s placement season is especially important because it comes after a successful previous year and shows that IIT BHU is building strong connections with both Indian and international companies.
IIT-BHU Witnesses Strong Start to 2025–26 Placements
Before the commencement of IIT BHU placement drive, 280 students received pre-placement offers (PPOS), thus reflecting the high level of trust that companies have placed on students of IIT-BHU.
