I got to visit School of Biochemical Engineering during their annual conference of Recent Advancement in Biochemical Engineering and Biotechnology. I was amazed to see the work culture of students at IITs ( which was actually my first visit to an IIT campus ) . Even with immense number of people, they had great arrangement of food and seating. Also, the fact that it was just a small part of a big IIT which infact was a small part of Banaras Hindu University, was astonishing. I also hot to visit other part of campus which was also highly developed and well made. If get a chance, do try to visit IIT BHU , a great place for high motivation.
