B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering - Batch of 2028

4.0

4.0Placements4.0Infrastructure4.0Faculty4.0Crowd & Campus Life4.0Value for Money

I am totally satisfied with my college. I don't think anybody is going to hate this college.

Placements: About 80% to 85% of students get placed. The highest domestic package for Mechanical Engineering is 23 LPA at BPCL. The average package is 8 LPA. Major recruiters include L&T, Ashok Leyland, and Tata Motors. Around 20% to 30% of students get internships. Common job roles include Graduate Engineer Trainee (GET), Design Engineer, and Operations Analyst.

Infrastructure: The college infrastructure is somewhat okay. However, I think it is bearable enough if students are going to live in an unknown city with unknown people. The same goes for hostel and mess facilities. Various facilities are available, like a central library, a large cricket ground, a football ground, a separate basketball ground, and a Student Activity Centre (SAC). These facilities make it a better choice.

Faculty: Faculty in the Mechanical Engineering department are highly qualified. Most of them hold doctorate degrees from IITs and NITs. They provide solid conceptual guidance & support for GATE/ESE aspirants. Their constant support in various projects and ideas helps students grow and develop an engineer's attitude.

Other: The campus is quite small, but it is beautiful enough to make your four years worthwhile. An additional new Bihta campus is also available to cover this up.

Very good placement this year.

Placements: More than 90 percent of students from our electrical department got placed (including off-campus). The highest package is 1.23 CPA (off-campus). The median package is 14 LPA. The average package is 16 LPA. The majority of non-core companies allowed the electrical department. Placements are generally good. Around 90 percent in each branch got placed. But placement data showing average and median packages also includes off-campus offers.

Infrastructure: I got a brand new hostel exclusively made for us when we came to our college, and that's the luckiest part of the college. The bathing water quality is poor. It causes hair fall and skin issues. The mess is also decent. Alternate non-vegetarian food and paneer are given but there is a degradation in food quality since the semester is coming to an end.

Faculty: Faculty members are good and supportive, helping us in academics, and there are subjects in ECM like fluid mechanics, CFD, AutoCAD, thermodynamics, engineering physics, calculus, ODE, and some more subjects for which we have different professors and courses.

Great opportunity. Grab it otherwise you will regret.

Placements: 60 percent placement is there on record in the MCA department this year. Average placement, I can say. Paid internship opportunities are also there. This year I have heard that someone from our senior batch succeeded in securing a 45 LPA internship. Almost every student got placed somewhere after completing the course, so ROI is good.

Infrastructure: Hostels are good enough. It is a multi-storey building. Elevators are there for convenience. Classrooms are facilitated with centralized AC. The library is there, you can borrow any book related to your course or some books other than the curriculum for 14 days. Computer labs are there for practical experiments of coding concepts.

Faculty: Highly qualified faculty members are there. Some of them are in the world’s top 2 percent researchers. You will get a great opportunity to gain deeper knowledge of your course from these faculty members for sure. The course is industry-relevant, obviously, that’s why companies are visiting for recruitment.

Other: The campus is connected with every means of transport. You can easily reach there via taxi, public transport like buses, metro, etc. The new beta campus is in the neighborhood of IIT Patna.

This is one of the best choices for M.Tech.

Placements: This was one of the prestigious colleges in India. Around 90% of students were placed from our institute. NIT Patna provided the highest placement offers after Mechanical Engineering. The highest package offered was 21 LPA, and the lowest was 4 LPA. The internships at our college were not traditional. The highest recruiting companies were TCS, BHEL, L&T, HAL, and many more.

Infrastructure: The infrastructure of our institute was moderate. Classrooms were decent, and labs were average. A library was present in our institute where many books were available. Hostel facilities were like a typical government college hostel. They were decent and sufficient for accommodation. Food was neither very good nor very bad.

Faculty: Our faculty members were highly qualified and capable of teaching M.Tech students. Every faculty member had a doctorate. Some of them were kind, funny, and friendly, while some teachers were bad, just like in other colleges. The course curriculum was great. Exams were not tough.

Good college come to Bihar.

Placements: After 6th semester students become eligible for campus placement. Companies like Texas Instruments Samsung Accenture Amazon Keysight Technologies Deloitte L&T Bosch Tech Mahindra and many more. The highest package for batch 2024 to 25 is 41LPA offered to a CSE student. The average package offered is 10LPA. Percentage of students placed here is almost 85 percent. Look for a job after getting the degree. Companies like Google Amazon and many more come here for internship opportunities for 2 months or 6 months duration. Offering roles for Software Development. You need a very good resume to clarify the tasks. There should be good projects and achievements should be there.

Infrastructure: Library is filled with all kinds of books you want to look at. Classroom is well structured air conditioned is there and also projector is available. Sports and extracurricular activities are well distributed. There are many interesting social clubs here. If helps students to develop their whole personality. Hostel rooms are provided with fans free Wi-Fi, and a water cooler. Meal quality is good. We get both veg and non veg items.

Faculty: Faculty to student ratio is okay in my opinion. In our ECE batch there are 90 students in a single section. There are no such faculty members whom I not like. Each semester there will be 2 exams. One is mid semester and the other is end of semester examination. Mid sem is easy one as compared to end of the semester. There are very few students who fail these exams. Course curriculum is relevant as it covers all the aspects of that particular branch.
