IIT Patna - The good and bad.

Placements: Placements are good, and in my course, the placement percentage was 82%, and the overall placement percentage was 89%. The average package overall was near 20 LPA, and the average package for mechanical was about 13 LPA. The highest package in mechanical was approximately 50 LPA, and overall, the highest was 1.2 CRPA. All major software companies and PSUs visit IITP for the placement drive.

Infrastructure: The academic infrastructure is great, with high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the institute, high-tech labs, and modern classrooms with facilities such that all students can SEE the screens easily. The library in IITP is huge, with all modern amenities and all sorts of books. Hostel facilities are decent, but the cleanliness of washrooms should be improved. The mess is decent, and medical and sports facilities are amazing.

Faculty: The faculty are knowledgeable and highly qualified in their fields. Most of the faculty are helpful and try to teach well. The course curriculum is relevant and in accordance with NEP policy. The semester exams are challenging, but if prepared well, you can easily pass.

Other: Some shortcomings are that it's not very near the city, so city life or nightlife doesn't exist. There is a lack of food shops inside the campus, so you will feel that, but apart from that, it's fine.
