Ques. What is the present internet speed in IIT BHU hostels?
The recent downloading speed is around 6 Mbps during the day as the traffic is very high. During the night the speed definitely increases but the increase is not that significant since people are awake at night too. When you are allotted your hostel rooms you will get an Ethernet cable. The speed might improve if you use the Ethernet instead of the wifi. In recent years a network with 1 Gbps bandwidth has been set up which resulted in good internet speed. This might look very high speed to some people reading this answer, but actually this is a pretty normal speed considering its an IIT. IIT Roorkee has far better speed than this....Read more

Ques. What are the hostel facilities in IIT BHU?
The institute many hostels for both boys and girls, and most of them are about 50-60 years old. The rooms in the old ones are cramped, unlike the new ones, where are quite spacious. Even then, the rooms are pretty much compact, according to the number of students in a room.

Ques. How are the hostels in IIT BHU?
The hostels of IIT BHU can be classified into 2 categories: new and old. Both of them have almost similar designs. The institute has renovated most of the old hostels and have well-maintained gardens inside. The rooms in these hostels are smaller and generally only two students can share the rooms.
