My college looks like heaven.

Placements: Good placement record, the highest placement offer is 60 lakh above. Approximately 99% students got placed in multiple companies like Amazon, Flipkart, Microsoft, etc. Every company gives us a good infrastructure and environment when we join, and then we will learn more about the work.

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.

Campus is clean and peaceful. Faculty members are helpful. Placement ratio is too good.

Placements: Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Patna has a strong and consistently improving placement record, attracting a wide range of companies and offering competitive salary packages. The placement data varies by programs (B.Tech, M.Tech, B.Sc., M.Sc).

Placements check, coding check, no physics, no chemistry. Just maths for the first semester.

Placements: I am currently studying a BS course in artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. It is my first year. The classes have not started yet, but I've attended the orientation. They'd also invited the first-year and second-year students to tell about their experience. Placements are good, of course, because it's IIT.
