A day as IIT Patna B.Sc. student.
Placements: Approximately 60-70 percent of students are placed. Average salary is 7 LPA. The highest salary is 15 LPA. The B.Sc. program includes a mandatory summer industry project for the fourth semester. Top roles offered are software development engineer, data analyst, and data scientist.
Infrastructure: As we have campus immersion every 6 months for 10-15 days, we have the best facilities, hostel, mess, complete access to library, classrooms, gymkhana, and everything. We have a daily workshop in our college in which a teacher comes to guide us for our future.
Faculty: All subject teachers are well qualified and have appropriate knowledge. They guide us to upgrade our skills. The course is also easy and makes us capable of competing in the industry. We have a marking system based on assessment, quizzes, and end semester exams.
Other: The best thing about the course is that it is hybrid as we can get extra skills and college work consecutively. One thing that I want to improve in my course is that the final year is completely offline classes so that students can get extra knowledge and social exposure.

My review of the IIT Patna.
Placements: Placement for the first batch of scores happens in 2026, so clearly mentioning some record about the placement is a big challenge. Right now, they have created a WhatsApp group for career and placement for hybrid students, where they constantly give a link.
Infrastructure: In the friendships structure, it is good for other IITs. It has 516 students and a big campus, but BS students cannot get hostel facilities. If you want hostel facilities, you can contact the IIT administration, who can allot you a hostel with all facilities like a gym and a khana.
Faculty: IIT Patna is located on its permanent campus, Beta. It has well-developed infection for both academic pursuits and student residential life, the institutional lecture hall and editorial building, each department has a BS student with a very high per month 14000 speed Wi-Fi, water purified and regular.

I love it, I like it, everything is amazing. Hostel infrastructure is good, mind-blowing, they have girls' and boys' separate hostel rooms.
Faculty: Faculty members are very good at behaviour. In terms of looks, their dressing sense is too good. Every faculty member has a polite nature. They always teach us in a good way, they always guide us, they have much more knowledge, they become so polite, they always clear our doubts.

College is very good with the IIT tag.
Placements: Currently, I am in the 2nd semester, but as per the seniors' advice, the placement cell is not so good here. Only a few students from the very first batch got internships, and also at a very low package. I do not have the correct data on how many students get placed, but it is not too many.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure of the college is very good. Hostels are also good and well-maintained. The mess food is above average and not so good. We would not feel bad on campus because there are so many sports to play, indoors or outdoors, and of course, I must say that it's not enough.
Faculty: The subjects taught here are very good. However, the way they teach is a little boring and not very good. If they bring experienced faculty members, then it will have a greater impact, but now they bring new faculty members, who I think have just completed their course.

The quality of food available in the mess and canteen is average. The hostel rooms are comfortable and clean. Multiple sports and medical facilities are available in our college.
Faculty: Teachers are very knowledgeable and experienced. They are not helpful enough, and they become angry if doubts are asked repeatedly. The teaching quality is average. Our course is curriculum-relevant, and many activities happen every month. The semester exams are quite difficult.
