Good placement and nice campus life.
Placements: I am from the 2024 batch M.Tech course IIT Patna. Almost 70% of students got placed. The highest package is around 18 LPA, the lowest is 5 LPA, and average is 9 LPA. Companies like Google, Infosys, Wipro, and Qualcomm came. 50-60% of students got internships at DRDO and ISRO. Roles offered are R&D, developer, and analyst types.
Infrastructure: Wi-Fi and labs are good. Classrooms are also fine with a projector and all. Library is big and has enough books. Hostel rooms are clean but not so big. Mess food is okay, sometimes good, sometimes bad. Canteen is small but fine. Medical help is also available. Sports ground is also there.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful and most of them are very qualified. Teaching style is simple but sometimes boring. Course is good and useful for a job, and many practical things also. Exams are not very hard but need to study. Pass percentage is around 85-90%. Overall, okay experience.
Other: It's a really good crowd and very smart students are there.

Good college, but needs more improvement in certain areas.
Placements: As a B.Tech CSE student from the 2023 batch, almost 85% of my batchmates secured placements. The highest package offered was 45 LPA , the lowest was around 8 LPA, and the average was approximately 17-18 LPA. Companies such as Google, Amazon, Flipkart, and Infosys recruited from our course. Around 70% of students received internship offers from companies like Microsoft and Adobe. The roles predominantly offered were developer, data analyst, and similar positions.
Infrastructure: Campus infrastructure is very good, with fast Wi-Fi and clean classrooms. The library is big with lots of books. Hostel rooms are neat, but there's sometimes a water issue. Mess food is okay, but the canteen is better. Medical help is available but sometimes slow. The sports ground is big with many game options, and overall, things are quite good.
Faculty: Teachers are helpful and knowledgeable, some teach very well, while others are just okay. The course is fine, but it doesn't fully prepare you for a job, as industry skills are somewhat lacking. Exams are not too hard but require study, and the pass rate is high, around 85-90%. Overall, it's very good and provides decent facilities to students..
Other: I chose the CSE 2023 batch because I like technology. I need more projects, and the fest was fun.

Reasons to choose IIT BBA over other BBA.
Placements: The college will provide placements as they promised. But the placements won't be like B.Tech programs because our mode of learning is online or distance, and the outcome that employers or the college expect might not be the same.
Infrastructure: The infrastructure at this college is good. The hostels have all the essentials, such as Wi-Fi, lifts, water coolers, and study tables. They also have washing machines for students to use. The classrooms are modern and have air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and power outlets for laptops. However, the mess food is terrible, and I don't know of any medical services that are available.
Faculty: The teachers are extremely qualified, coming from top institutions like IIM and industry leaders like KPMG and EY. The course curriculum is industry-focused, which makes it relevant. However, the mode of learning is online, which makes it a bit questionable. The semester exams are of moderate difficulty, and the pass percentage is around 60 to 70%.

Quite satisfied because of the good infrastructure and faculty members.
Placements: We can apply to work at ISRO with this course. The average package offered in this branch this year is 12 LPA. We can also get internships in this course.
Infrastructure: For the first year, 3 students stay in one room. But the hostel is very good. We have a water cooler, washing areas, and an outdoor badminton court at the back. Labs are clean, but we need to be careful while doing our assigned experiments. Mess serves pretty good food.
Faculty: Professors are very good and helpful in nature. We have to coordinate with them to secure good results and follow their piece of advice very carefully. Teachers are very qualified, with some having a PhD degree. Some have already studied at universities in the USA. The course is good. It is entirely research-oriented. There are a lot of headaches in studying Physics if we are not interested in it.

The college is good for CSE and AI students.
Placements: Twenty-six third-year students joined Google as interns, and 5-6 third-year students joined Atlassian this year (2025). Overall, the placements are good this year, with the average B.Teach placement salary nearly 20 Lacs, and the CSE department's average is almost 25 Lakh
Infrastructure: All hostels at IIT Patna are excellent, but the third- and fourth-year boys' hostels are old. Each hostel has its own mess, and the food quality is decent—neither very good nor bad. The first-year students' hostel has two badminton courts inside. Other sports grounds are roughly 1 km away from the hostel area.
Faculty: All teachers are very helpful. All courses are relevant and it helps you to get placed in any industry ( according to your department). There is an absolute grading system so you have to score at least 40% marks in each exam (mid-semester, end-semester, lab exam).
