Placements

Affiliated colleges place students on their own, so figures vary widely from college to college.
Industry & incubation
- MoU with NASSCOM FutureSkills Prime (with SBTE Bihar, Jan 2026) for AI, data, cloud and cybersecurity training
- Industry Institute Meets with industrial bodies (2025)
- ISTE Best Emerging University Award (2024)
Good to know
- CGPA to %: no official BEU formula found. The 2026-27 UG Regulation gives only a %-to-grade table; aggregator figures like (CGPA-0.75)x10 are unverified.
- Private engineering colleges once came under Aryabhatta Knowledge University; since March 2023 all Bihar engineering colleges must affiliate to BEU.
- New UG Regulation (2026-27 batch on): two NPTEL courses in sem 3-6 with credit transfer in sem 7, backlog papers allowed with odd-sem registration, pass = 35% (P grade).
