The placements of Pharmaceutical Engineering at IIT BHU are presently not considered to be excellent but are at a growing phase. There are several reasons which lead to the not-so-satisfactory placement of Pharmaceutical Engineering, and some of them are listed in the key highlights. The table below gives a brief overview of Pharmaceutical Engineering at IIT BHU.

Key Highlights:

• Just a few years back, the department of Pharmaceutical Engineering was called B.Pharm. This is one of the reasons why several companies can’t recognize the stream, and so didn’t open their recruitment procedure for the department to date.
• Slowly with time, there are companies who have started recruiting students from Pharmaceutical Engineering, which is evident by the fact that there are new names every year in the list of companies who have visited the campus for placement.
• Among all other sectors, the Pharmaceutical industry stands second among the fastest growing industries in the world.
• In the Pharmaceutical industry, there is immense scope for research-oriented works. So, most students are hired by organizations offering research profiles, and very few corporate jobs are seen to be offered to students.

This is the overall placement scenario of Pharmaceutical Engineering at IIT BHU, which is not very good in quality and quantity, but is increasing with time and according to market demands.

Though the core-pharma jobs are scarce, the life-science sector is an ever-growing sector. It is one of the most vibrant and technical industries and with hard work you will be surely paid off. For example, Reckitt Benckiser, a top life-science based MNC offered a package of 16 LPA. However, it only recruited two students. Top recruiters of Pharmaceutical Engineering students at IIT BHU in the core sector include Dr. Reddy’s, Zydus, Matrix laboratories, Mylan, Sun-Pharma, etc. whereas non-core include Sony, IBM, Cognizant, TCS, Accenture, Wipro, Musigma, Evaluserve and many more. Alumni of the department are placed in U.S, Malaysia, U.K, and other countries and extend extensive support to the students. Most students bag lucrative internships and pre-placement offers. IIT-BHU has a magnanimous training and placement cell which is responsible for conducting all placement related activities. Students are provided end to end support from aptitude preparations, mock interviews, G.D preparations, ppts to final placements. You can get a package of 4.5-5 LPA in core placements while core packages can go as high as 14-15 LPA.

Bachelor’s in pharmaceutical engineering at IIT-BHU is one of the most sought out degrees. There is a number of reasons to substantiate the above statement.
Firstly, IIT-BHU has been ranked 11 among top engineering colleges in India by NIRF 2020 ranking. This gives an upper-hand to the students passing out from here. The syllabus of Pharmaceutical Engineering incorporates the recent industry trends which keep the students updated with the industry requirement.
The placement cell is excellent and provides lucrative packages to the students. Top recruiters in the core sector include Dr. Reddy’s, Zydus, Matrix laboratories, Mylan, Sun-Pharma, etc. As pharmaceutical engineering is more research-oriented the starting packages in core placements are low as compared to the other sectors but it increases with experience.
Students can opt for non-core placements too, top non-core recruiters are Sony, IBM, Cognizant, TCS, Accenture, Wipro, Musigma, Evaluserve, and many more. Adding on to there is a wide scope of higher studies at foreign universities too.
