    Dissatisfied with the hostel facility warden's behaviour. They charge high.
    Placements: Out of 9, only one student got an internship and was placed in the 2024-2026 batch with a package of 14.5LPA as a Product Engineer. Most of the companies are searching for students having no gap between any courses. Some technical companies include Cummins, Tata Motors, and John Deere. Most of the companies hire for the PGET role
    Infrastructure: Although campus is new but road facilities are useless there are so much potholes on the road. Some labs have better facilities, but most of labs don't have proper equipment to conduct experiments. Old library haven't that much of seating capacity so they are moving to New library but this new library they are moving from 4years yet they haven't moved yet. The Wi-Fi facility is best in the academic area but average in the hostel area. The warden is useless she doesn't even look over what the basic facilities are. Students are facing issues, especially in D Block, they always ask for fine.
    Faculty: Teachers are helpful except one. The curriculum is not updated. They need to update it over time. They don't have teachers for elective subjects, so they give options to choose various elective. Semester exams are as per the syllabus above average. There are two quizzes then a mid-semester exam, then again 2 quizzes and then the end-semester exam.
    Other: I have selected this course because I have an interest in thermal. They should provide opportunities to select elective subjects like machine learning, as it is a requirement in today's era.

    Infrastructure: The facilities and infrastructure were top-notch for the Metallurgical and Materials Engineering branch. Wi-Fi facility, modern labs, and central library were present in the college campus. Hostel facility was also good. Washrooms were clean, fresh water was available, and a sports complex was present.
    Faculty: The teachers were well qualified. All of them had years of teaching experience in reputed universities. They were very knowledgeable in their respective subjects. Teaching quality was excellent. Course curriculum was relevant to the modern industry. Students participated in various competitions that made them industry-ready.

    IIT Patna M.Tech honest college review.
    Placements: Placements at the institute are the perfect definition of it. Students generally become eligible for placement from the fourth semester. Around 300 recruiters participate, including top domestic as well as foreign companies. The average package for the M.Tech programme is 16 LPA, and the highest package offered is 1 CPA. The top recruiters in the drive include Microsoft, Oracle, Goldman Sachs, ICICI, Tata, and HCL. Almost 100 percent of students got placed. I plan to work after my graduation.
    Infrastructure: Hostel rooms are good in all aspects. 24 hour electricity is provided, and an emergency generator facility is available. The hostel is neat and clean. Sweepers come regularly to clean the dirty areas, and rooms are properly cleaned every weekend. The mess maintains good quality food.
    Faculty: Teachers are highly qualified. Most of them did their PhD. from IITs or other reputed colleges in other countries. The first year curriculum is a slight mixture of all subjects and makes students industry ready in other ways. Semester exams are not difficult. The batch size is approximately 150, of which 15 are branch changes.

    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.

    Decent faculty, good labs, and helpful placement support.
    Placements: I am from the M.Tech batch of IIT Patna. Around 80% of students were placed. The highest package is 18 LPA, the lowest is 5 LPA, and the average was 9 LPA. Companies like Amazon, TCS, and Wipro came. About 85% got internships in DRDO, ISRO, and startups. Roles like developer and research assistant are offered.
    Infrastructure: IIT Patna has good infrastructure. The department has fast Wi-Fi, modern labs, AC classrooms, and a big library with many books. 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.
    Faculty: IIT Patna has good Wi-Fi, a big library, smart classrooms, and the lab is also nice. Hostel rooms are okay, but sometimes cleaning is not proper. Mess food is not very tasty, canteen food is better. A medical room is there for small help. Sports ground and games are also available. It's quite good.
    Other: I took this course because I like research and teaching. The best thing is the good lab and project work. Some subjects can be more updated. The campus has events, fests, and tech fests also. The crowd is good, and the campus is clean. Scholarships are given to many. Sports and club activities are also there.

    Faculty: The professors are highly qualified, coming from both Indian and foreign universities. They have wide exposure to research and teaching experience. The associate professors and assistant professors have extensive teaching experience and teach us in a friendly manner. Students enjoy their teaching style. In the first year, everyone studies the same courses. Exams are semester-wise, where students have a few mandatory courses and some electives available within their department. One can also opt for courses of interest from different departments. For example, engineering students can choose management courses as their elective subjects. The course workload is heavy. So it prepares you for real-world work. Courses can be chosen from the 2nd semester, allowing you to select courses according to your preferences. There are minor exams, major exams, and many assignments.
