Good college but for architecture the placements are low.
Placements: In the course of Architecture there were little to no placements but there were internships you can do after you learn the skills required. There were a lot of opportunities for internships in this course and provided enough opportunities and workshops for you to develop your skills while the degree was ongoing. The average package offered was 5 to 10LPA for architecture students.
Infrastructure: Campus life was also very good as there were many fests and events like Corona & Melange which was the annual event. There was a Central Library and our individual department. Architecture library had almost all the required books and students can pursue them whenever they want without any extra fees. Classroom amenities were also maintained here and checked on a regular basis. Sports facilities were also best as there was all the equipment a large ground and different sports courts. Different clubs like drama music photography etc.
Faculty: I chose this course because I was interested in it and wanted to explore it. Faculty members were good supportive and knowledgeable. The faculty student ratio was good. The qualification of the faculty was very good as they were from different renowned colleges/universities around India and different parts of the world. Exams were always on time and conducted in a good manner.

Good college come to Bihar.
Placements: After 6th semester students become eligible for campus placement. Companies like Texas Instruments Samsung Accenture Amazon Keysight Technologies Deloitte L&T Bosch Tech Mahindra and many more. The highest package for batch 2024 to 25 is 41LPA offered to a CSE student. The average package offered is 10LPA. Percentage of students placed here is almost 85 percent. Look for a job after getting the degree. Companies like Google Amazon and many more come here for internship opportunities for 2 months or 6 months duration. Offering roles for Software Development. You need a very good resume to clarify the tasks. There should be good projects and achievements should be there.
Infrastructure: Library is filled with all kinds of books you want to look at. Classroom is well structured air conditioned is there and also projector is available. Sports and extracurricular activities are well distributed. There are many interesting social clubs here. If helps students to develop their whole personality. Hostel rooms are provided with fans free Wi-Fi, and a water cooler. Meal quality is good. We get both veg and non veg items.
Faculty: Faculty to student ratio is okay in my opinion. In our ECE batch there are 90 students in a single section. There are no such faculty members whom I not like. Each semester there will be 2 exams. One is mid semester and the other is end of semester examination. Mid sem is easy one as compared to end of the semester. There are very few students who fail these exams. Course curriculum is relevant as it covers all the aspects of that particular branch.

Review of NIT Patna - National Institute of Technology.
Placements: This year, only about 40% of students get placed in our branch. The highest package is around 18 LPA, the lowest is 3.6 LPA, and the average is 7 LPA. Top recruiting companies are L&T, Infosys, TCS, and other software companies, as there are no jobs in the core field. Almost only 20% of students get internships. The top roles offered are Software Engineer, Structural Engineer, Site Engineer, and Environment Engineer.
Infrastructure: I live in the hostel named Brahmapur Hostel of the National Institute of Technology, Patna. This is one of the largest hostels for boys in NIT Patna. The mess structure of NIT Patna is delicious, and yesterday it had a special dinner. There are three boys' hostels and one girls' hostel. The net capacity is around 1,400 students. Some hostels have poor basic facilities. The Wi-Fi is very slow due to the large number of users. The library is well-equipped, but the classrooms are a bit old. Mess food is unacceptable.
Faculty: Teachers in the department are invaluable to students, but others, like the Physics department, do not seem well qualified. Students have to prepare on their own using YouTube or other platforms. The course curriculum is very relevant, focusing only on courses that help with placements. There are two midterms and one end-of-semester exam each semester.
Other: Here, professors are highly qualified and knowledgeable.

Review of NIT Patna - National Institute of Technology.
Placements: Around 70% of students in the Electronics and Communication Engineering branch were placed. The highest package touched 65 LPA, the average was around 14 LPA, and the lowest was about 7 LPA. Companies like Wipro, Deloitte, Infosys, and Cognizant were the major recruiters. Almost 90% of students in the 3rd year also received internships.
Faculty: Most of our teachers are highly experienced and qualified, and they truly focus on helping students land great placements. The coursework is really geared towards the financial sector, with a special emphasis on subjects like accounting and auditing. Simply put, the staff is talented and usually gets excellent results from the students. Most teachers are supportive and help students individual. But a few instructors are a bit strict and old-fashioned, which sometimes leads to issues like discipline problems or slight gender bias. Overall good campus experience I had in my college years.

My successful education journey at NIT Patna.
Placements: The highest package of my branch is about 18LPA. The lowest package is about 5 to 6LPA. 80 to 90 percent of the people in our course are placed in companies like HSBC BPCL SBPDCL NTPC and others. These are the top recruiting companies for our course. Even many students in our branch go for higher studies after completing their graduation like GATE. Many of them have even been placed in companies like Public Sector Units which are called PSU.
Infrastructure: The sports facility at NIT Patna is insufficient for their studies12. It is located inside the old campus of NIT Patna which is on Ashok Rajpath RD and the quality of the facility in our hostel is good. Our hostel is about 10 floors and each floor consists of many rooms. There are even Ph.D. students Ph.D. Scholars are also present in our hostel and the M Tech and MCA BCA students have also joined our college and they are staying at our hostel with the college permission.
Faculty: The Course curriculum of our branch electrical engineering department is sufficient to make a student a well for getting placed at an electrical company for an electrical role but as per my opinion. There should be some changes in our course and it must be taken as a big step in our course. The newly joining students of our College in our course can get advanced and modern knowledge not the previous historical knowledge. Teachers are helpful at our college they even guide during exams and placement. The semester exams are good.
Other: Our campus size is the old NIT Patna campus and the new NIT Bihta campus which is actually NIT Patna New Whole Modified. It has been inaugurated online regardless of our Prime Minister Sri Narendra Damodar Raj Modi. The campus of NIIT Patna looks very peaceful and it is present just beside the Ganga River a very peaceful environment to be present. Our hostel is also present just beside the Ganga Ghat and I enjoy looking at the greenery and river areas from my balcony of my hostel. The scholarship opportunities are provided.
