    Q:   Is there direct admission in NIT Patna?
    A: 

    Candidates who want NIT Patna admissions have to clear entrance exam and also need to fulfill the eligibility criteria. There is no provision for direct admission. So candidates need valid scores of national-level entrance tests. There are in all 10 departments that offer 40+ courses. The flagship course of NIT Patna is BTech which admits students on the basis of JEE Main scores. Hence, candidates cannot get direct admission at NIT Patna. Candidates need to visit the official website of the national-level entrance exams and apply online. Selected candidates can proceed further for counselling, and PI.

    Q:   How are students shortlisted for NIT Patna admission?
    A: 

    NIT Patna shortlists students mainly on an entrance basis. Students have to appear for entrance tests followed by other selection rounds. For BTech and MSc these are counselling. The selection process for popular programmes is as below:

    • NIT Patna BTech selection process - JEE Main + JoSAA
    • NIT Patna M.Tech selection process - GATE + CCMT
    • NIT Patna MCA selefction process - NIMCET + CCMT 
    • NIT Patna BArch selection process - JEE Main Paper II
    Q:   How many months are required to prepare for JEE Mains exam?
    A: 

    The time period required to complete the JEE Main preparation depends mainly on the students. Every student has their own pace of study. Ideally, 6-month time is good enough to complete the JEE Main preparation. Students who have started preparing from class 11 or 12 can easily prepare for JEE Main in 6 months considering the topics of JEE syllabus have already been studied in classes 11 and 12.

    JEE Main preparation is most effective with classes 11 and 12 as almost 90-95 percent of topics are similar in both exams. This way students can easily complete the entire JEE Main syllabus as well as the syllabus of classes 11 and 12. After the board exams, students get 1-2 months' time where they can focus entirely on JEE Main. Students who have started late for the JEE Main exam can make a 6-month plan where in the first three months they have to focus on revising the syllabus studied in classes 11 and 12. In the next two months focus on solving questions of JEE Main and analyzing the mistakes being made, if any. The last month should be focused on solving mock tests and JEE Main previous year question papers.

People here get packages of around 32 LPA with good effort, and one of my seniors got a placement of 65 LPA. Internship offers start from the 2nd year, and many people get pre-placement offers. The average package is around 22 LPA.

It is helpful in making students industry-ready for the core jobs. However, students prefer the software field. Semester exams are difficult but can be passed if studied well. The pass percentage is around 96%.

    Dream of every serious aspirants.
    Placements: 90% of students get placed every year. Top recruiting companies are Reliance, UTS, Birla, and many more, as per my knowledge. The highest package is 19 LPA. The average package is 9.5 LPA, and the lowest salary is 7 LPA. This data is from last year. All students get internships at least.
    Infrastructure: Infrastructure of the hostel is good. Facilities are provided such as Wi-Fi, LAN, a study room, a laundry facility, and a night canteen in every hostel. The facility of the night canteen is from 6:00 PM to 2:00 AM. Medical facilities are also available in the hostel. There is also a TV room in which you can watch movies, cricket matches, etc. Sports facility is also available.
    Faculty: Professors are well-qualified but strict in college. The teaching quality varies for each faculty member. The course curriculum is good, ensuring that students gain basic knowledge from each branch in the first year and transition to core subjects in the second year. There are mid-semester exams (30 marks) and end-semester exams (100 marks, later converted to 50) for each semester. There are about two to three class tests for each subject. It is rare for students to fail.

    It is an average institute.
    Placements: Around 80% to 85% of students get placed in our course. The highest salary package in our college is 45 LPA, the average salary package is 14 LPA, and the lowest salary package is 6 LPA. Companies like Aditya Birla, Tata, and PhonePe recruit students from our course. Every student gets an internship in the 2nd or 3rd year through hard work.
    Infrastructure: Facilities available in our hostel include Wi-Fi, drinking water, lights, fans, and beds. Our college has fully air-conditioned classrooms. A central library is available on campus, and students can issue books. The quality of food in the mess is average. There are three canteens on campus, and the fast food is good. We have a small ground for playing different sports like volleyball, football, and cricket. However, only one sport, either cricket or football, can be played at a time.
    Faculty: Teachers are helpful with studies and projects. They are qualified and very knowledgeable. We feel comfortable studying with them. In my opinion, the course curriculum is relevant and prepares us to manage future tasks. The mid-semester exams are good because teachers ask questions based on what they teach in class.

    Good college for Architecture.
    Placements: Placements are just pathetic for B.Arch courses at NIT Patna. There are a handful of companies that allow B.Arch students to sit for their placement that too for computer science and analyst roles. Average Salary is INR 8.80 lakh. Highest Salary is INR 43.17 lakh. Median Salary is INR 6.50 lakh. Major recruiting companies are ABB, Accenture, Aditya Birla Group, AFCONS Infrastructure, AMW Automobiles, and Godrej, etc.
    Infrastructure: Facilities are quite good and labs are also good . WiFi is very slow and the library is well equipped. The hostel accommodates three people in a small room. It is heavily crowded and living there is like hell. Mess food is pathetic and very boring but it is acceptable.
    Faculty: Faculty is worst, as you won't understand anything in class. You will have to rely on YouTube for each and every topic. Exams are extremely easy and you can pass it even without studying. Curriculum is quite relevant and it is of great use for a successful career in architecture.
