The Indian Institute of Technology Banaras Hindu University or IIT BHU, has expanded the number of seats in some of its most popular departments for students selected through the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE). In the academic session 2025-26, the institute will maintain a total of 1,589 seats for first-year students, the same as the previous year. However, to meet the increasing demand for JEE seats, IIT has redistributed them.
Specifically, 111 seats have been transferred from four departments – Ceramic Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, Mining Engineering, and Pharmaceutical Engineering and Technology – to nine more sought-after departments.
The departments benefiting from the increased seats include Chemical Engineering, which now has 170 seats, up from 156. Civil Engineering has 160 seats, compared to the previous 150. Computer Science and Engineering saw an increase of 22 seats, bringing the total to 155. Similarly, Electronics Engineering also added 22 seats, totaling 155. Other departments like Mechanical Engineering, Mathematics and Computing, and Engineering Physics have also seen an increase of over 10 seats.
