M.Tech. in Thermal & Fluids Engineering - Batch of 2026
1.8
3.0Placements1.0Infrastructure3.0Faculty1.0Crowd & Campus Life1.0Value for Money
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.

A well-equipped campus and supports learning and skill development.
Placements: Since this batch started a few years ago only the current placement percentage is 60-80 percent. The average package lies between 5 LPA and 10 LPA. Companies like Oracle and Flipkart are included in the recruiters' list. This course is more skill-dependent. Average package are lower than B.Tech courses.
Infrastructure: The facilities are very good. We get all the necessary things. The campus infrastructure includes seminar halls, hostels, sports ground, both indoor and outdoor.
Faculty: The faculty is very helpful. We receive a great mentorship from them. The first semester was not hard but from the second semester, the quality of the examinations and courses increases. Group projects are also introduced from the second semester onwards. Every week, some webinars are held.
Other: Sometimes extracurricular activities are not available. Overall it's a great college. Placements are good and mentorship is also provided. Fests are held, and everyone participates actively with great enthusiasm. Big celebrities are invited to fests like Anvesha.

The reality of the hybrid course B.Sc in Computer Science and Data Analytics provided by IIT Patna.
Placements: The total percentage of getting placed and getting interned is very good. In the year 2025, more than 800 students from our course got their internship via on-campus and many students got placed before even completing the course. The packages were good, like an average package of 8 LPA were provided, where the highest ones were among 20 LPA or more. The top recruiters are HCL, Infosys, and Wipro. The top roles offered were SDE and BDE, some also got placed in HR.
Infrastructure: So basically this course is a hybrid course, so you do not have to go to any physical class, but during the campus immersion, they provide a hostel. The infrastructure of the hostel, exam halls and lecture hall is good and clean, and the food provided is also good. They also provide us with the opportunity to participate in various sports and activities during immersion.
Faculty: Most of the faculty for these courses are IIT professors, some are NIT or IIIT professors, too, so they obviously provide you with a great learning experience. Also, the course is designed to provide you with the modern-day skills required in the industry, like data analysis and machine learning. The examinations are moderate, depending on the student and on how well they studied overall in the semester.
Other: Well, to be honest, this course is value for money as it is not very expensive and provides better skills and gives you an IIT degree. You can also visit the campus in these courses. You can experience the campus life as well as the cultural fest of IIT Patna even in these courses. But there is still something they need to improve, like better food during immersion and improving the choices of companies that come as recruiters.

So well, good infrastructure, campus life, and facilities are provided to each student.
Placements: 90% of students are placed. The highest package is 1.17 crore, the lowest package is 8-10 LPA, and the average package is 23-26 LPA. Top companies are Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Accenture, Goldman Sachs, and Wipro. 90% of students got internships. Software engineer roles are offered.
Infrastructure: Though IIT is a central government institution, facilities ranging from studying to various types of amenities are provided to students. Free Wi-Fi is given to students during class hours, and hostel facilities are excellent. The mess and canteen are fabulous and well-equipped with every kind of food item a student can eat according to his/her choice. Every kind of sports facility is available.
Faculty: Professors are helpful, well-educated, and extremely knowledgeable. Teacher quality is at an advanced level. The course curriculum is flexible and relevant for students. It makes students purely industry-ready. The difficulties of semester exams vary subject by subject, providing a mix of easy and difficult assessments. Pass percentage 94%.
Other: As I am more interested in building my career in software engineering, I chose this course. The best aspects of our course are coding, new skills, and new problems. There is a little bit less focus on math skills for students, so that needs improvement. Events like Anwesha and the DJ night are very enjoyable. The campus surroundings are spacious, with ample facilities for students, starting from daily life activities like running, walking, playing, cycling, etc.

I am really satisfied with it. Placements are pretty good. Infrastructure is awesome.
Placements: The economics branch was started 2 years back in 2024, so there are no placement states for my branch. In other branches like CSE, ECE, etc., the placement percentage is 80 percent. The highest package offered is more than 1 crore per annum. The remaining 20 percent of students choose the civil services, startups, etc. Companies like Google, Microsoft, IBM, Nvidia, Accenture, Samsung, Sony, KPMG, etc., hire students from the college.
Infrastructure: The hostel is well-equipped with 7 Wi-Fi connections and a lift. Rooms are good. The library has all types of books, magazines, and journals. A digital library facility is also available. Right now, the mess food is pretty good. Medical facilities are good. We have a sports complex in which cricket, football, hockey, tennis, volleyball, and basketball are available. We also have a gymkhana where TT, badminton, chess, and a gym are available.
Faculty: Professors are awesome. Many of them study at foreign institutes. Nearly all professors have enough experience in their particular domain. Many professors also release their research papers from time to time. The 1st-year course curriculum is not fully relevant, but it's good for unskilled problem-solving. Exams are not difficult, as nearly 99 percent of students pass easily.
Other: I have to explore the path of economics, so I chose it. It organises 3 big fests, namely Celesta (tech fest) in December, Infinito (sports fest) in October, and Anwesha (the biggest cultural fest).

The infrastructure is decent and the teaching faculty is excellent.
Placements: This year's placements are going really well compared to last year. The seniors are very cooperative in helping us learn new things. Every branch is getting a decent placement average this year. Its average could be 25 to 30 LPA this year. The internships are really good.
Infrastructure: We have 2 computer labs and the hostel is good. The mess is decent. The campus is big, and there are bus facilities available to travel around the campus. There is a gymkhana and a sports complex. In the sports complex, we have a cricket ground, a football ground, etc.
Faculty: The teaching faculty in IIT Patna are from very prestigious universities, like our mechanical teacher, who is from MIT, USA. There are mid-sems and end-sems, along with quizzes going on throughout the semester. The curriculum is well planned and it is followed thoroughly.
