A good research environment with supportive faculty but needs stronger industry connections.

Placements: As a student from the 2022 batch of IIT Patna, M.Sc. Zoology, I can confirm that around 30% of students got placed. The highest package is around 6 LPA, the lowest is around 3 LPA, and the average package is close to 4 LPA. There are several factors to consider, but the overall placement is very good.

Infrastructure: Faculty is high-class, the classrooms are good, and all the things are very good. The Zoology department at IIT Patna has good labs with modern equipment for practicals. Classrooms are clean and have projectors. Wi-Fi is available across campus and works well. The library is well-stocked with books and journals, including materials for life sciences.

Faculty: The course curriculum is more academic and research-focused. It is not fully industry-oriented, so students may need extra training or courses to be industry-ready. Adding more practicals, workshops, and industry exposure would improve it. It's quite good.

Other: The best things about the course are the experienced and supportive faculty, good lab facilities, and the focus on research work. The environment encourages learning and practical understanding. However, the course should include more industry-oriented topics, an updated syllabus, and skill-based training. Placement and internship support also need improvement.

Hostel rooms are fine, but sometimes not properly clean. Mess food is average, and canteen food is a little better. A medical room is available for health issues. Sports ground and indoor games are also present. The campus is neat and peaceful.
